SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, DIVIDE

ABAP_SYNTAX_OBS
SUBTRACT dobj1 FROM dobj2.
MULTIPLY dobj2 BY dobj1.
DIVIDE dobj2 BY dobj1.

What does it do?
These statements have the same effect as the statements
dobj2 -= dobj1.
dobj2 *= dobj1.
dobj2 /= dobj1.
that are the same as
dobj2 = dobj2 - dobj1.
dobj2 = dobj2 * dobj1.
dobj2 = dobj2 / dobj1.
The content of dobj2

has the content of dobj1 subtracted,

or is multiplied by the content of dobj1,

or is divided by the content of dobj1,
and the result is assigned to dobj2. The data objects dobj1 and dobj2 must be numeric. Only data objects can be specified and no calls or other expressions. The calculation type is determined as for an arithmetic expression.
Division by the value 0 is undefined and raises a catchable exception. The only situation where division by 0 does not raise an exception is if the dividend is also 0. Here, the result is set to 0.



Latest notes:
The statements shown here have been fully replaced by calculation assignments with the operators -=, *=, and /= in which the operands can also be specified as expressions.
NON_V5_HINTS
ABAP_HINT_END



Example ABAP Coding

The variables n1 and n2 both have the value 1.50 after the calculation statements. The calculations are done with the obsolete calculation statements and with the corresponding calculation assignments.
