Hey Elize! I guess it means it is dividing by a value "0" (zero), how does your denominator look like? you can read more about this math expression under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero
Hope this helps Best regards ziad

Hi
I am trying to write a codebook from a dataset that has been entered in Double Verification mode. I have 588 records in the dataset.
The error message is: "Floating point division by zero". What does this mean and how can I fix the problem so that I can write the Codebook?
