Short Dump... Help?

[Former Member]

I received this abap dump. Any suggestions on how to adjust the code?

Runtime Errors         BCD_ZERODIVIDE

Exception              CX_SY_ZERODIVIDE

Date and Time          01/02/2013 10:50:01

Short text

     Division by 0 (type P) in program "/ITS/MM_PPV_REP"

What happened?

     Error in the ABAP Application Program

     The current ABAP program "/ITS/MM_PPV_REP" had to be terminated becaus

     come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.

        WHEN 'K'.

The same check which you have performed here:

    IF NOT <GS_ATAB>-STPRS EQ 0.  <--- this check

      <GS_ATAB>-VARIP = <GS_ATAB>-VARIA * 100 / <GS_ATAB>-STPRS.

    ENDIF.

You should check if the field which you are using the formulas to divide should not be 0

It's hard to believe this could not be resolved without help from SCN. What analysis have you done before posting on SCN?

This is a catchable exception, so it should be treated in the code instead of waiting for a short dump. Like this, for example (check Help for what exception handling is available in your SAP version):

TRY.
<...>
CATCH cx_sy_arithmetic_error.
<...>
ENDTRY.

If division by zero occurs, it might also indicate that there is some error before that, e.g. a value was not calculated correctly or is missing.
