Payout Ratio

I want to rank a scan by Payout Ratio. The following doesn't work "Rank by [[dividend] / [eps]]". Any suggestion on how I can rank by Payout Ratio? Thanks.

    I tried every combination I could think of, but couldn't get it to work either. They are both numeric values, and the rank by statement allows division, but it doesn't seem to allow it using these terms possibly because it could entail division by zero.

    Maybe @gord would know if it's possible.

    I have since learned that the rank by statement is intended to be used with existing indicators and does not (intentionally) accommodate conditions that include operators.
