Part file numbers must be strictly positive; part number 0 is illegal. You may find the MOD function better, for example for five parts 1+MOD(@ID[1],5) If the final key character is non-numeric (or even if it's numeric), add a SEQ function, for example for five parts 1+MOD(SEQ(@ID[1]),5) -

This is assuming that the @ID's are pseudo-random. I would think that if there IS a unique identifier part (eg: a branch number, state designator etc) you may be better off using this ESPECIALLY if this were used as part of a SELECT sequence (I think, and will happily be corrected) However, if

MOD() is the remainder after integer division. MOD(7,3) is 1, MOD(8,3) is 2, MOD(9,3) is 0, and so on. SEQ() returns the ASCII code point of a character. SEQ(A) returns 65, since A is CHAR(65). So the algorithm takes the rightmost character of the key, using @ID[1]. You could also use
