There is no way to handle these errors - except to say that make sure they
never occur!

It is like asking if code A=apples, code B=bananas, then what happens if a
program encounters code C?  What does code C indicate??

You can test if a field is numeric, but then what?  Do you invoice the item
for free if the cost is not numeric???  Maybe yes, maybe no!

Also, testing for numeric validity seems to really slow down program
performance!

Best approach is to ensure data IS numeric and clean prior to running a
program against the data!
