Ralf Handl updated ODATA-918:
-----------------------------

     Summary: Add operator "divby" that always results in a decimal.  (was: Add operator "divideby" that always results in a decimal.)
    Proposal: 
Add operator "divby" that does mathematical division and always results in a decimal (as if both operands were promoted to decimal).

a divbyb is identical to cast(a,Edm.Decimal) div cast(b,Edm.Decimal)

Services that support div and cast SHOULD also support divby

Services MAY advertise it with Capabilities.FilterFunctions

  was:
Add operator "divideby" that does mathematical division and always results in a decimal (as if both operands were promoted to decimal).
