Divide by Zero

Hi Friends,
How to handle Divide by Zero in CRN

For Eg,
I have a expression A/B
Do I need to use code like this
If
(B=0)
then (0)
else
(A/B)


Or

Just use A/B and CRN will take care of the Divide by Zero

My main concern here do we need to hardcode inform CRN to take care or CRN is going to take care of Divide By Zero even if we didn't take care of it.

TIA

Hello Sudha,
I have deleted your very same post in Powerplay area.
You don't have to post the same question in multiple parts of the forum to get an answer more quickly, unless it was a mistake.


Have you tried your question by yourself in ReportNet ??
What was the result ?

Sudha

First of all Posting in various places it was a Mistake, thanks for deleting it there becus I tried to Delete muself but could not.

Well when I tried this ...in 1 case
When I just write just A/B in the and run the Report I don't get anyout the whole Report was blank after running for a while.
So have to try the 2nd one with If-Then-Else statement and see...still going on

But I still need al valuable suggestions

Thanks

check the option in the query .....

by default when you divide one expression with another, reportnet internally uses the decode function (in oracle or its equivalent on other databases) to substitute the dividend (denominator) with a null if it is zero. This avoids division by zero errors. However a null is the result.
