Extended Syntax Check in abap code

Former Member — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 06:12:06 GMT

Hi Guys,

We are upgrading from 4.6 C to ECC 6.0. When I do the Extended Syntax check for the custom function module it gives me the following error. Please help.

The EXCEPTION "REPORT_NOT_EXISTENT" is not defined in the interface of the function module "RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS" "RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS". Internal Message Code: MESSAGE G-7.

(The message can be hidden with "#EC ARGCHECKED)

Regards,

Shankar

Hi,

This function module RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS checks whether any parameters or select options of the variant have changed. If they have, it outputs an error message .Hence u got the exception...

<b>Don't suppress the message. </b> You should only suppress messages if you are aware of why they are appearing, and they are not an error.

What it means is, that in your custom function module, there is some code like

CALL FUNCTION 'RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS'
  EXPORTING
    report                     = v_report
    variant                    = v_variant
...
 EXCEPTIONS
   VARIANT_NON_EXISTENT        = 1
   VARIANT_OBSOLETE            = 2
   REPORT_NOT_EXISTENT         = 3
   OTHERS                      = 4

But if you look at FM rs_variant_contents, you'll see this exception is not defined. The correct course of action is to remove it from your call.
