Re: How to make "division by zero attempted" error message more informative?

[Ed Morton]

That error message tells you the line number in the script (`line:1`), 
the input file name (`FILENAME=-`), and the line number in the input 
file where the error occurred (`FNR=1`) as well as telling you it's a 
divide by zero and you can clearly see in your code where you're 
dividing so I'm not sure what more information could be needed/provided.

Out of curiosity though - what would you like the error message to say?
