Thanks Bill.

I meant the % operator at large. When I say that I couldn't retrieve it I meant I couldn't retrieve its description in the documentation (wich is the case for at 50% of the things I search!).

I assume you mean the %(modulo) operator. e.g. if a%b == 0, a is divisible by b.e.g 15%2 == 1; 25%23 == 2; that is it gives you the remainder. It is not clear why you cannot retrieve it. Best way is provide your code and we can see what is going on.
