Tiger java.math.BigDecimal platform :win2000
divideToIntegralValue(divisorBD,mc)

for the following data point and MathContext
String dividend = "123456789000";
String divisor = "1";
MathContext mc = new MathContext(9,RoundingMode.DOWN);

I am getting the Exception.

java.lang.ArithmeticException: Division impossible

I am expecting the output as: 123456789000 with a scale of -3.

The java prototype version used is:
(build 1.5.0-internal-darcy_18_aug_2003_12_29)

The Test program is:
-------------------

import java.math.*;
public class Test {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        String dividend = "123456789000";
        String divisor = "1";
        BigDecimal dividendBD = new BigDecimal(dividend);
        BigDecimal divisorBD = new BigDecimal(divisor);
        MathContext mc = new MathContext(9,RoundingMode.DOWN);
        BigDecimal quotientDivideInteger = dividendBD.divideToIntegralValue(divisorBD,mc);
        System.out.println("quotientDivideInteger " + quotientDivideInteger.longValue() + " scale = " + quotientDivideInteger.scale());
     }
 }

---------------The output is----and java version used-------------
