Exception problem

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

I tried a lot but dont which exception to use in this case, the code is like below and i want to catch the exception and throw up a message can anyone help me please. In this case it again throws the runtime error.

<b>CONVT_OVERFLOW

CX_SY_CONVERSION_OVERFLOW

Overflow when converting from "2.35589e+35"</b>

<b>data a(16) type p decimals 4.

data max_value(16) type p value 999999999999.

PARAMETER b(16) type p decimals 2.

PARAMETER no_rb RADIOBUTTON GROUP RAD1.

PARAMETER year_rb RADIOBUTTON GROUP RAD1.

if year_rb = 'X'.

CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS ARITHMETIC_ERRORS = 1.

a = b ** 365. <---- error line

ENDCATCH.

IF sy-subrc = 1.

a = max_value.

message i100.

else.

write: AT 2'SY-SUBRC', AT 25'A'.

write:/ sy-subrc, a.

endif.

endif.</b>

Can anyone please give a solution to handle this exception i tried a lot but nothing works.

It is actually catching the error quite well for me. What are you putting into the parameter B when executing.

Hi,

I give a value 1.25 and any number with decimal point it not working.

Does you B field have to be define with 16, defining as 8, I believe this will fix your problem.

Hi Rich,

It throws the same error.

What could be done.

Any solution.

Thanks,

If I use convt_overflow, it worked for me. What version of SAP are you on?

[RichHeilman]

Lets try a diffent system exceptions. This is now working for me.

  <b>catch system-exceptions convt_overflow = 1.</b>
*  catch system-exceptions arithmetic_errors = 1.
    a = b ** 365. "<---- error line
  endcatch.

This works for me.

DATA a(16) TYPE p DECIMALS 4.
DATA max_value(16) TYPE p VALUE 999999999999.


PARAMETER b(16) TYPE p DECIMALS 2.

PARAMETER no_rb RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1.
PARAMETER year_rb RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1.

IF year_rb = 'X'.
  CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS convt_overflow = 1.
    a = b ** 365.
  ENDCATCH.
  IF sy-subrc = 1.
    a = max_value.
  ENDIF.
ENDIF.

MESSAGE i100.
WRITE: AT 2'SY-SUBRC', AT 25'A'.
WRITE:/ sy-subrc, a.

Use <b><u>convt_overflow</u></b>. If you take out your CATCH, ENDCATCH portion and run your computation alone, you will get a dump. The very first statement of the dump will tell you what the system exception is. You have to use that one. In this case it is convt_overflow.

Hi Everyone,

thanks for all your replies it works when i change the exception to cont_overflow. But again when u give a value 12.35 or so it throws up a error

Overflow or underflow with exponentiation.

compute_pow_range

cx_sy_arithmetic_overflow.

How do I capture all the exception.

Is there where I can specify when others exception and capture them so that I need not specify a particular exception.

Any help on this will be of great use to me.

thanks,

Prashant.

[RichHeilman]

Catch both of them.

<b>  catch system-exceptions convt_overflow = 1.
    catch system-exceptions arithmetic_errors = 2.
      a = b ** 365. "<---- error line
    endcatch.
  endcatch.</b>

Hi,

i tried giving as u have done, but when u specify the b value as 12.35 the value of a is 00. whereas it has to calculate and put the value, but instead it gives a zero.

what can be done????????

thanks,

Prashant.

Try this.

DATA a(16) TYPE p DECIMALS 4.
DATA max_value(16) TYPE p VALUE 999999999999.


PARAMETER b(16) TYPE p DECIMALS 2.

PARAMETER no_rb RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1.
PARAMETER year_rb RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1.

IF year_rb = 'X'.
  CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS arithmetic_errors = 1
                          conversion_errors = 2.
    a = b ** 365.
  ENDCATCH.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    a = max_value.
  ENDIF.
ENDIF.

MESSAGE i100.
WRITE: AT 2'SY-SUBRC', AT 25'A'.
WRITE:/ sy-subrc, a.
