Divide by zero; execution continues
Explanation: The program executed a DIVIDE operation with the
value zero for the divisor, and the statement does not contain an
ON SIZE ERROR clause. Execution continues with undefined results.
User Action: You must take one of the following actions:
a. Check the program logic. If you expect that your program
may attempt to divide by zero, add an ON SIZE ERROR clause
to the DIVIDE statement.
b. If this error occurs in the context of an expression that
cannot include an ON SIZE ERROR clause, such as an IF
statement, evaluate the expression in a DIVIDE or COMPUTE
statement with an ON SIZE ERROR clause, storing the result
in a temporary variable. Use that variable in the expression
context.
