Hi,

i have calculations in my program with packed decimals

x / y both x and y are packed decimals.

unfortunately y got some value 0.00 and throughing dump while executing the program.

is it appropriate to write <b>if y eq '0.00'

replace '0.00' with '1.00'

endif.

x/y</b>

why dont you just use

if y eq 0.

y = 1.

endif.

This code should work

it depends on ur logic and validations.

If u want an error message u can give error message or else if u want the value then u can use the logic mentioned.\if y eq '0.00'

replace '0.00' with '1.00'

endif.

x/y

Hi,

Yes, you can.

Also you can code like this.

IF Y IS INITIAL.

Y = 1.

ELSE.

...

ENDIF.
