Few things are provably insoluble, UG ;)

Actually, a very large class of problems fall under that, but that's for another topic.

I'd accept it flagging x:=0; Y:= close(0)/x; -- it's the WAGs that irritate.

Yup. I'm not even sure I understand why much effort goes into compile time checking of that sort of thing. It's just too indeterminate to figure out at that point.

Having said that, I'm not sure what I'd do if it were me, but I think I'd write the software that if a div0 error were caught at runtime, I'd just log the error to an audit file, and move on to the next ticker.
