Having problems with SX/B and divide by 1000

mardor

I have a WORD variable with value 2400 and when I device by 1000
and assign the __REMAINDER I get an incorrect value.

This breaks....

ORIG VAR WORD
WHOLE VAR WORD
FRAC VAR WORD

ORIG = 2400
WHOLE = ORIG / 1000
FRAC = __REMAINDER

I end up with WHOLE=2
and FRAC=144

This works....

ORIG VAR WORD
WHOLE VAR WORD
FRAC VAR WORD
TEMP VAR WORD

ORIG = 2400
WHOLE = ORIG / 1000
TEMP = WHOLE * 1000
FRAC = ORIG - TEMP

I end up with WHOLE=2
and FRAC=400

You have to use __WREMAINDER to get a 16-bit remainder. This works:

Main:
  value = 2400
  whole = value / 1000
  frac = __WREMAINDER

  WATCH whole, 16, sdec
  WATCH frac, 16, sdec
  BREAK

  GOTO Main

Thanx a thousand....That did the trick.
