Hi ,

sy-subrc is the variable which have the return value and we use directly in our program.

Search SDN on system variables.

Also , check SYST database table.

Hope this helps you.

You can check SAP help document , to know the sy-subrc values a keyword it returns.

For success , it is 0.

After each statement, ABAP returns a Return Code that is stored in global variable SY-SUBRC. If it equals zero, then the statement was succesful; otherwise, an error occured.

This is a very important thing in ABAP programming; you should always check SY-SUBRC to make sure that there were no errors during the execution of statement

chk this wiki.

Hello,

They are not stored in any database table. The sy-subrc values are populated in the runtime in the structure SYST and if you want to know the meaning of what each value of sy-subrc of a particular statement, hit F1 and check the help.
