If you take this statement and execute it in the command window it returns the correct whole number. On the contrary, from within the function the result is a fraction.

It is my understanding that mod() should return integers if the arguments are integers.
Perhaps there is a rounding error. I see that your number has
16 significant digits; the limit for numbers is between 15 and 16 digits. That is simply too much for VFP, IMO.
