If you have to do multiplication and divisions, make sure that you are not keeping the division to be executed last (try to do the division earlier). 38 digits is a very big number and probably something is wrong in the logic.

Hi DBAs,

One of my projects is facing a problem, they are using a numeric datatype
for a column, in the process part the calulation is leading to a number larger than 38 digits.

Therefore they are not getting a result ie procedure is not returning anything.

If you have come across such a thing ?...Inputs are welcome

Thanks and regards,
Shradha
