x
Expression.
y
Expression. If y = 0, the ZERODIVIDE condition is raised.
p
Restricted expression specifying the number of digits to be maintained throughout the operation.
q
Restricted expression specifying the scaling factor of the result. For a fixed-point result, if q is omitted, a scaling factor of zero is the default. For a floating-point result, q must be omitted.
