Hi,

Your dividing component is zero. because of that BCD_ZERODIVIDE error is occured. make sure your dividing component is not sure.

Please refer this link.....

When ever your dividing, pls make sure the dividing component is not zero.

When you try to divide by zero, you will get the error.

Pls change the program accordingly

Hi,

Given your selection criteria, at some point you should be getting a situation where some value is divided by zero.

Try debugging it online if possible.

The value which is becoming 0 for division, put a catchable exception there.

Hi Hema,

1) check the steps in your job using sm37

2) one of your step may be throwing this error which has come across the statement dividing by zero for your specified selection criteria.

3) debug that step i.e program which is added as a step by specifying your selection criteria

3) modify the program by adding try and catch blocks to handle run time exceptions.

Please refer to the link below which explains you how to handle run time exceptions

Hi,

Example Program....


REPORT demo_catch_endcatch.

DATA: result TYPE p DECIMALS 3,
      number TYPE i VALUE 11.

CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS arithmetic_errors = 5.
  DO.
    number = number - 1.
    result = 1 / number.
    WRITE: / number, result.
  ENDDO.
ENDCATCH.

SKIP.

IF sy-subrc = 5.
  WRITE / 'Division by zero!'.
ENDIF.

The program calculates the quotients tens time from 1 and number until the runtime error BCD_ZERODIVIDE occurs. This belongs to the exception group ARITHMETIC_ERRORS, and is caught in the example using this class.

Hope it will helps
