• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD364 - Division using 0 not permitted ?

  The SAP error message WD364: "Division using 0 not permitted" occurs when there is an attempt to perform a division operation where the divisor is zero. Division by zero is mathematically undefined and not allowed in programming, hence SAP raises this runtime error to prevent incorrect calculations or system crashes.
  
  Cause
  
  The error is caused by a division operation in the Web Dynpro ABAP application where the divisor variable or value is zero.
  This often happens in custom code or standard SAP code where the divisor is not properly checked before performing the division.
  It can occur in calculations related to percentages, ratios, averages, or any arithmetic operation involving division.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Identify the Source of the Error:
  
  Check the Web Dynpro component or application where the error occurs.
  Use debugging or analyze the stack trace to find the exact line of code causing the division by zero.
  
  
  
  Add Zero Check Before Division:
  
  Modify the code to check if the divisor is zero before performing the division.
  Example in ABAP:
  IF divisor <> 0.
    result = numerator / divisor.
  ELSE.
    " Handle zero divisor case, e.g. set result to 0 or raise a meaningful message
    result = 0.
  ENDIF.
  
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Ensure that the input data or values used in the division are validated and sanitized before calculations.
  Prevent zero or invalid values from being passed as divisors.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration or Master Data:
  
  Sometimes zero values come from configuration or master data (e.g., division factor, quantity, or price fields).
  Verify and correct any such data that might cause zero division.
