MESSAGE TYPE 'E' in INITIALIZATION

Former Member — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 08:08:16 GMT

Dear all

I have a question when I send a dialog message of TYPE 'E' during event processing block INITIALIZATION it behaves as TYPE 'A' showing a dialog box although SAP Help mentions that it will show in status line in current window with program termination and display of empty screen as mentioned in this link

[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e5/e719bab1d711d295bf0000e8353423/content.htm]

I am working on ECC 6. What can be the cause of this. Here is the sample code

REPORT zxyz .

INITIALIZATION.
  MESSAGE 'Error' TYPE 'E'.

Regards

Farhan

Hi Farhan,

You are right, the system doesn't behave as described in the help documentation. I guess, the error messages given during Initialization event are handled as they were during a PBO event.

Ozcan.

Please read my question carefully. TYPE 'E' Message in INITIALIZATION is not behaving as documented by SAP HELP.

I'm in ECC 6.0, NetWeaver 7.0... I see the same action and you're right...the documentation is either out of date, just plain wrong, or you've discovered an unintended "feature". I tried with different settings in my options (pop-up on, pop-up off). I have to say, though, that what SAP has done is better than what happened in earlier WebAS, where user was left with blank screen and had to press ENTER to exit...
