Assignment of Catchable Runtime Errors to Exception Groups
Most of the obsolete catchable runtime errors are assigned to exception groups. Using the name of an
exception group, all catchable runtime errors of the group can be caught simultaneously using CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS.
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

The associated ABAP keywords are specified for each exception group. Only those keywords associated
with a specific exception group can be used to catch the runtime errors in this exception group using the obsolete statement CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS.
Exception group ARITHMETIC_ERRORS
(Associated superclass: CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_ERROR)
This group contains exceptions that can be raised by arithmetic expressions. These include, for example, division by zero, overflows in fields, and errors in arithmetic and trigonometric functions.
Errors cannot be caught that occur during the conversion between data types in mixed arithmetical expressions

The following keywords are associated with this exception group:
Notes
The keyword COMPUTE is optional (and also obsolete). However, statements in category
n1 = arithexp
still belong to the keyword COMPUTE.
Statements of the category COMPUTE n1 = n2.
are simply assignments
without arithmetic function and are assigned to the keyword MOVE (in the
context of catchable runtime errors). To avoid confusion, it is better to write the following in these cases: n1 = n2.
Exception group CONVERSION_ERRORS
(Associated superclass: CX_SY_CONVERSION_ERROR)
This group contains runtime errors that can occur during the conversion between data types. An explicit conversion can be made using MOVE, for example.
Implicit conversions are only caught in arithmetical expressions.
