Dear All ,

In SE37 our ABAPer created a funtion module. He try to add this function module in SWO1 -> API . He getting error message "BAPI &1: BAPI function module &2 has no return parameter".

However he Logged in other terminals, he is able to process with out the above error.

I reinstalled GUI in that system and tried... but getting the same error.

Kindly suggest me.

For Every BAPI, return parameters are important. If you check a standard BAPI..you will see a RETURN structure which actually captures the error and success messages also at times.

Just take any standard BAPI and check the RETURN structure defined in the Tables or Export parameters:

Will be defined like this:

RETURN type BAPIRET2.

Your ABAPer should write the code in such a way that the values or the document created/changed...etc...should get populated..or atleast a message showing that document is created or something like that.

Vishwa.

For BAPI return paramaeter is mandatory and also for creating BAPI one should follow the BAPI naming convention.

Hello Rakesh

BAPIs must not raise an exceptions but return then to the (external) caller using a RETURN parameter. Single message can be returned using structure BAPIRET2. If you need or want to return multiple messages you may use either a TABLES parameter RETURN (of type BAPIRET2) or an EXPORTING parameter RETURN (table type BAPIRETTAB).

Regards

Uwe
