Hi Cynthia,

1. It is probably due the negative value in the field or length of the field is to small to handle the value.
2. Debug the cause with the help of ABAPer to get to know the field.
3. If it is a Z program, run the BDC in forground and check the value.
4. OSS note 1352231

Hope the above point helps you.

perform a debug on the spot that dump.

Likely to be doing some computation.

The resultant field may not be big enough to store the output.

normally due to the denominator value is too small.
