Hello experts,

I am having an error with my report. Below is the error:

Overflow for arithmetical operation (type P) in program "ZFR_FOREX_REV_ACCTG "

Now, the variable that I am putting the amount is lv_amount which is type p decimals 2

with a length of 15. What can I do to make it fit? Thanks a lot guys and take care!

You can handle this using TRY, ENDTRY.

data : w_error type ref to CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_OVERFLOW.

create w_error.

TRY.

do the sum total here.

CATCH (exception name for arithmetic overflow) into w_error.

call method get_text of w_error and display.

ENDTRY.

FOR data type P you can use a maximum length of 16, so increase the length of the TOTAL field to 16.

Or you can try with <b>TYPE F</b>. It will hold max of 9,9999999999999980E+15.

Hi viray,

you can do this way..

PARAMETERS fact TYPE i. 
DATA: fact_save TYPE i, 
      res(16)  TYPE p. 
*** ARITHMETIC_ERRORS contains COMPUTE_BCD_OVERFLOW *** 
CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS ARITHMETIC_ERRORS = 5. 
  res = fact_save = fact. 
  SUBTRACT 1 FROM fact. 
  DO fact TIMES. 
    MULTIPLY res BY fact. "<- COMPUTE_BCD_OVERFLOW 
    SUBTRACT 1 FROM fact. 
  ENDDO. 
ENDCATCH. 
IF sy-subrc = 5. 
  WRITE: / 'Overflow! Factorial of', fact_save, 
                               'cannot be calculated.'. 
ELSE. 
  WRITE: / 'Factorial of', fact_save, 'gives', res. 
ENDIF.

the same way you can handle your case.
