Overflow Error - Type P

[Former Member]

In the Portal, we're running Enteprise Compensation Management with EHP4. For some Employees, we get an error that reads 'Overflow during the arithmetical operation (type P) in program SAPLZECM. Any idea what causes this error?

Thanks.

Over floe occurs when the ranges of an given data type is exceeded, just check the value that are getting populated into this variable, if it is getting derived then check the other values as well.

e.g. a = b / c

Check b & c value also.

Hi tank,

ZECM is a customer function group. The error is caused by dilettantish programming.

Use applicable SAP standard data types and no homegrown field definitions.

LOL, I think this should be added as an ABAP keyword.
