Sample 24674: Determining odd versus even using the MOD function
Output only even number observations.
Note:
The MOD function returns the remainder when values are
divided.
In this sample, when dividing i by 2, there will be
no remainder for the even observations (2,4,6,8 and 10).
If there is a remainder, the current observation has to
be an odd numbered observation. This program outputs
only the even numbered observations to a new data set.
