I can anticipate the answer where OP says that there is a constraint restricting argVolume to > 0. However, I don't think that independent constraints such as we see them in this rule are evaluated as if they were in a single logical expression, with Java semantics.
The seductive possibility of binding to a half-baked expression (i.e., $ratio:(volumeAccumulations["total"]/consolidatdVolume.avgVolume)) should be discarded. This value can safely be computed on the RHS where the denominator's value being !=0 is asserted. -W On 01/11/2013, Stephen Masters <stephen.mast...@me.com> wrote: > Divide by zero exceptions usually occur when you try to divide by zero. > > So … first question … is consolidatdVolume.avgVolume ever zero? > > > On 1 Nov 2013, at 16:17, gboro54 <gbor...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I have rules like the following: >> >> rule "Add Baseline to Context if it does not exists exists or not greater >> then 0" >> no-loop true >> when >> $context:Context($id:id,baselineParticipation==null || >> >> baselineParticipation.baselineRatio==null||baselineParticipation.baselineRatio==0) >> then >> modify($firm) {setBaselineParticipation(new >> BaselineParticipation($id,new >> BigDecimal(0.00485)))};
