Subject division by zero
Author Peter Lee
Hello Everybody,

We are getting 'Arithmatic overflow or division by zero has
occurred. arithmetic exception, numeric overflow or string truncation'
from the following query (running it through IBExpert, FB1.5).

We are fairly sure that one of the divisions for prac_percent and
test_percent are causing the problem. Is there any way to get around this
if the sum(g_stats.prac_attempted) or sum(g_stats.test_attempted) are zero?

I haven't bothered posting the entire query, but am happy to do so if need be!

Thanks,

Peter Lee
