gonzongo, Re: Division by zero In one of you posts (#4978) you had the following line: prtosales:=close(-374)/((qtrrev(-6)*4/1000)/(sharesout+.00001)+.000001) I assume (I know that's bad) you included the +.000001s in the divisor to eliminate the dreaded Div by zero error. This seems to be a valid solution, but when used to compare (as a %) the volume of one day to another, I get a VERY large number when the volume was zero. (see example below) I did find that including an extra conditional statement seemed to solve the problem, altough it can eliminate some possible hits on certain scans. Integer I; For i = -2 to -32 step -1 Do If Close(i)>1 and Close(i)100000 Then If Vol(i-1)>0 // Eliminate the zero problem before it is used as a divisor Then If vol(i)/Vol(i-1)>30 Then PrintLn Symbol:-9,date(i):-12; EndIf; EndIf; EndIf; Next i; Just a thought Roy
