* BCD_FIELD_OVERFLOW : Result field is too small (type P )

* BCD_OVERFLOW : Overflow during arithmetic operation (type P )

* BCD_ZERODIVIDE : Division by 0 (type P )

* COMPUTE_FLOAT_ZERODIVIDE : Division by 0 (type F )

* COMPUTE_INT_DIV_OVERFLOW : Whole number overflow with division

* COMPUTE_INT_ZERODIVIDE : Division by 0 (type I )
