DDLS337 - Details

• The SAP error message DDLS337 indicates that the maximum number of decimal places allowed in an arithmetic expression has been exceeded. In SAP, the maximum number of decimal places for numeric fields is typically limited to 37. When you attempt to perform an arithmetic operation that results in a number with more than 37 decimal places, this error will occur.
  
  Cause:
  The error is caused by one of the following scenarios:
  
  Arithmetic Operations: Performing calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) that result in a number with more than 37 decimal places.
  Data Type Limitations: Using data types that inherently allow for more decimal places than the system can handle.
  Data Input: Inputting values that, when processed, exceed the decimal limit.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DDLS337 error, consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Review Arithmetic Expressions: Check the arithmetic expressions in your code or query. Ensure that the operations do not produce results with more than 37 decimal places. You may need
