Thanks a lot !

I try it and it is very good !
Maybe it is not the best solution, but I call a function() in my Select for rhe fields that I use the "iif" command.

Example :
(before)
Select field1,iif(field2=0,0,field3/field2) as nDiv from myTable

(after)
Select field1,MyFunction("iif(field2=0,0,field3/field2)") as nDiv from myTable

function MyFunction()
lParameters tcCalcul
return evaluate(tcCalcul)

Thanks David !
Your help was very appreciated ! :)

SELECT myfunc(cValue) AS textvalue...
Just be sure to pad the result to the desired length before returning the value.
