SY-SUBRC = 4 While SORT.

Hi All,

While SORT the internal table, it sorts but the return code is 4.

I am using only CHAR type fields only and its a STANDARD type table.

In 20 fields of the internal table, the 2nd, 3rd & 4th fields are used to sort.

Even these three fields have values or not, it returns 4.

When a SORT statement with STANDARD internal table will return 4? Provided all fields are CHAR type.

I don't think the SORT sets the sy-subrc at all. Can you check if it is set by another statement before the SORT?

Hi,

I am not sure whether the SORT statement will have any effect on you sy-subrc. I think this sy-subrc = 4 is because of some other statement before your sort.

Hi All,

Yes... SORT statement is not setting value for SY-SUBRC.
