data type p

Former Member — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 18:40:30 GMT

hi all,

i have defined a field as data type betrg which is P, but in some cases i m having arithemetic overflow error.

"An overflow has been determined in the current arithmetical operation

containing operands of type P. Possible causes include:

1. The results field of type P is to small and the result does not fit

into it.

places.

2. The result or partial result has more than 31 decimal places."

Can someone please suggest a field that can hold higher values then betrg??

thanks,

Try to do it in a smalle variable on decimal places,

ie:

var type p decimals 7---> do not like this

var type p decimals 4 --> correct
