Explanation

When an arithmetic operation is attempted on non-numeric data (like trying to do math on a text field or alphabetic character), it causes a 'Data Exception' (decimal data exception or 0Cx exception in IBM mainframe terminology). Operational exceptions relate to program interrupts, Address exceptions to invalid memory access.
