DIVIDE : ABAP Keyword a day

DIVIDE

Basic form
DIVIDE n1 BY n2.
Effect
Divides the contents of n1 by n2 and places the result in n1 .

This is equivalent to: n1 = n1 / n2.
Example

DATA: SUM TYPE P, NUMBER TYPE P.
DIVIDE SUM BY NUMBER.

Note
The details regarding conversions and performance given under COMPUTE apply equally to DIVIDE . Furthermore: Division by 0 is not allowed, except where 0 / 0 results in 0.
Note
Runtime errors

* BCD_BADDATA : P field contains no correct BCD format

* BCD_FIELD_OVERFLOW : Result field is too small (type P )

* BCD_OVERFLOW : Overflow during arithmetic operation (type P )

* BCD_ZERODIVIDE : Division by 0 (type P )

* COMPUTE_FLOAT_ZERODIVIDE : Division by 0 (type F )

* COMPUTE_INT_DIV_OVERFLOW : Whole number overflow with division

* COMPUTE_INT_ZERODIVIDE : Division by 0 (type I )
