MOD (Modulus) returns the remainder of a division of the first operand by the second. It is very useful to extract part of a numeric field, and used in conjunction with subtraction and division, the MOD operation is like a numeric equivalent to the substring function.
These example shows how to use MOD to extract parts of a MMDDYY numeric date.
122506 MOD 10 = 6 122506 MOD 100 = 06 122506 MOD 10000 = 2506 122506 - (122506 MOD 10000) = 120000 122506 MOD 10000 - 122506 MOD 100 = 2500
