Catching an exception when calling a method

Former Member — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 19:09:04 GMT

My program has the following code in it:



  TRY.
      lv_request = me->get_request( ).
    CATCH cx_sy_ref_is_initial  INTO lv_error.

  ENDTRY.

When I run the code the method get_request short dumps with OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED. Why is that? Cant I simple catch this exception and continue processing.

get_request is an inherited method and I can not change the code in it. But I do want to thandle the exception but cant seem to find a way.

Any ideas?

Hi,

what class are we talking about? Probably your method GET_REQUEST calls another method which raises this exception. The exception CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL belongs to class CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK. These exceptions have to be handled or explicitly forwarded. It looks like this is not done in method GET_REQUEST.

The method get_request on is IF_BSP_APPLICATION (not sure which concrete implementation).

Anyway, you have answered my question. Unless the exception is explicitly being 'forwarded' then I cant handle it myself.

Thank you.
