Where are you facing this? In what instance? Without any details you should not expect useful repiles.

Hi nagaraj ,

This sort of error usually occurs when the amounts involved are too big for the program to handle. The ABAP will be trying to write to a table or structure which does not have enough space. Run the Program in Debug mode and see where it drops out.

once you identify the field or table structure try to increse its length .

Hopefully this will solve your problem.

This type of error occurs if an overflow occurs in an arithmetic expression with an operand of the type P (the result may have another type).

If you must execute type conversions within the arithmetic expressions,the errors BCD_FIELD_OVERFLOW or BCD_OVERFLOW are triggered, as before.

hi,

This happens generally with amount field you neeed to catch the exception in your code

for example

catch system-exceptions compute_bcd_overflow = 5.
          compa_ratio = v_salary / v_slref.
        endcatch.
*---- Compa ratio is 9.99 as ideally it should not be grater than 10
        if sy-subrc = 5.
          compa_ratio = '9.99'.
        endif.

thanks

u can use catch ....endcatch like

catch system-exceptions bcd_zerodivide = 1.
  rate = rate / kpein.
    endcatch .

or use

CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS ARITHMETIC_ERRORS = 5.
.....
.....
ENDCATCH
