Input

Y any numeric type A scalar expression or column expression

Return Value

Returns a numerical value corresponding to the result of dividing X by Y.

The data type of the result is decimal.

If you enter two integers for X/Y, macro language will interpret this as a date in the form MM/YY and return either an incorrect value or an error. For example, the following code returns an error:

<willbe name="test" value="19/45"/>
Simply add parentheses around the value, as follows:
<willbe name="test" value="(19/45)"/>

If X and/or Y is N/A, the result is N/A.
