Error handling in Update function modules

Former Member — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 10:57:40 GMT

Hi,

Can any one please let me know how to handle errors in the update function modules.I have searched in SDN but unable to find suitable answer.

I am getting an SAP Mail saying that update did not happen. I want to display error messages in the output list. I used the RAISE statement but the exception handling is not happening.

Regard

  tables : pa0001.
  select single * from pa0001 where pernr = empno.
  if sy-subrc = 4.
    raise no_data.
  endif.


endfunction.

Hi Shaik,

Thanks for the coding,

Kindly note the below points

1) I am using a update function

2) I already used a Raise statment

3) I am having error in a SAP mail,which is not sufficient

I want to capture the errors like in normal function and display in a report output

Hi, this is normal behavior when an exception is raised in an update module, see ABAP keyword documentation:

CALL FUNCTION - IN UPDATE TASK
Notes
- If during the update an error occurs, the update work process executes a database rollback ... and informs the user whose program has created the log record by SAPMail. After removing the error cause, the returned log records can be updated again.

If you want to handle the exception in the calling program, perform a general function call (without using update task). Like this you can handle the exception and display errors in the output list of the calling program.

Unfortunately, this type of error cannot be handled in the calling routine. They occur after the update has been passed to V1 or V2.

You have to use SM13 or SM14 to examine the problem.
