My apologies.  With your example; SELECT MOD( X, 2 ), it will do exactly as you 
say it will do.

If you're MODding using 2 as the second argument, it's always going to
be 0 or 1.  2 either divides in to the number evenly, having a
remainder of 0, or it'll have a remainder of 1.  The former indicates
the number is even, the latter odd.

thnx,
