BDC and BAPI

Former Member — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 07:08:25 GMT

Hi,

Can anyone explain how we can trap error in BDC if we are using BAPI Function Module. And also how the errors trapped are displayed in a flat file. Can anyone help me out with an example.

Thanks in Advance,

Regards

Hello,

In BAPI, you can check the RETURN table parameter of the BAPI. So, check this table parameter.

Hello,

BDC using BAPI is handled by calling the BAPI by passing the import parameters and getting the export parameters of the FM.

After execution of the BAPI, check the return Parameter BAPIRET2.

If BAPIRET2-TYPE field is 'S' its success.

Possible values for TYPE>>

S = success message

E = error message

W = warning message

I = information message

A = termination message (abort)

Some fields in BAPIRET2 are described as below:

ID(CHAR 20): Message ID The structure BAPIRET2 takes into account the name space extension for the message class as of Release 4.0. If you want messages to be compatible with earlier R/3 Releases, use the message classes before Release 4.0.

NUMBER: Message number

MESSAGE(CHAR 220)Full message text from the message table. All variables (in fields Message_V1 to Message_V4) have been replaced with text.

There are some more fields you can use refer : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a5/3ec9f74ac011d1894e0000e829fbbd/content.htm

Now after checking the status/TYPE in BAPIRET2, you can update the file. May be create an additional Column in your internal table and keep updating the same about SUCCESS/FAIL and DOWNLOAD the ITAB to file or create dataset from ITAB.

Hi ,

After BAPI call loop thru return table for message type 'E' or 'A' , then you will get all error messages or abend messages.

call BAPI.

if not return_table is initial.
loop at return_table where type = 'E' or type 'A'.
write:/ return_table-message.
endloop.
endif
