provide statement and function module

former_member226519 — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 08:13:53 GMT

I am getting a syntax error when using both PROVIDE and RAISE within a function module: "Old and new exceptions cannot be used at the same time .."

I managed to solve the problem by putting the PROVIDE into an include of the function group.

But this could not be the state of the art solution, could it?

PROVIDE is a statement for extracting data from time dependent tables. It seems to be entirely unlikely that it has anything to do with the error message ""Old and new exceptions cannot be used at the same time ...".

What is the signature (import/export/changing/table paramaters) of your function module, and how are you raising exceptions?

I know it is very odd.

The fm imports PERNR, BEGDA, ENDDA and exports two numeric values.

And I have 2 exceptions defined: DATA_ERROR and RESULTS_NOT_COMPLETE.


    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      gf_results_not_complete = yes.
    endif.
.....

  if gf_results_not_complete = yes.
    raise results_not_complete.
  endif.
endfunction.

Can you post the exact FM signature - i.e. the header bit of the source code.

thanks

Sounds rather like you used both RAISE (old) and RAISE EXCEPTION (new) in the same context, please doublecheck.

No, I can't see anything wrong. As Thomas says, you get this error when mixing RAISE and RAISE EXCEPTION. I can't see any connection to the PROVIDE statement. I think you have to take this to SAP.

I found that PROVIDE obviously uses RAISE EXCEPTION internally and this conflicts with my simple RAISE.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Really? That's pretty bad then! You should still raise it with SAP (if it isn't already there) - it means that ABAP is broken...
