Re: FP: Trapping division by zero (Error 1307)

I used a similar method in an earlier version of the screen which worked fine. In my form, I used the MOD() function which catches the error, as does the % operator. There is some inconsistency here in that % traps the error but / doesn't.

Thanks to everyone who contributed.

This is my Foxpro/DOS way of catching division by zero:

on error *

x=1/0

if if "*"$x

? x

? "divide by zero"

endif

on error
