Stop on Numeric Overflow

The Stop on Numeric Overflow option terminates processing whenever a numeric overflow (such as division by zero) occurs.

Analyzer has a limit of 22 digits, including decimal digits, for mathematical operations. This limit applies to intermediate calculations as well. Analyzer indicates a numeric overflow in the View by displaying the message ###ERR### in the affected fields.

If you turn this option off, Analyzer continues to process a command when a numeric overflow occurs however calculations will be incorrect because significant digits will be truncated. Analyzer replaces division by zero with a very large value.
