'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA' - how to handle errors?

Former Member — Fri, 01 Jul 2005 09:46:13 GMT

Howdy,

I want to use the following BAPI:

'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'.

Unfortunately it has no 'Exceptions' so how would I handle errors?

Currently it is coded like this:
    call function 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'
         exporting
              headdata            = st_head
              clientdata          = st_mara
              clientdatax         = st_marax
              plantdata           = st_plant
              plantdatax          = st_plantx
         importing
              return              = git_rtrn
         tables
              materialdescription = git_makt.

    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      perform change_zsrcmtrx_status using 'E'.
    else.
      perform change_zsrcmtrx_status using 'P'.
    endif.

Would it be okay to add something like this:

    call function 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'
         exporting
              headdata            = st_head
              clientdata          = st_mara
              clientdatax         = st_marax
              plantdata           = st_plant
              plantdatax          = st_plantx
         importing
              return              = git_rtrn
         tables
              materialdescription = git_makt
         exceptions
              error_message       = 3
              others              = 4.

    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      perform change_zsrcmtrx_status using 'E'.
    else.
      perform change_zsrcmtrx_status using 'P'.
    endif.

Thanks for any input!

no Steve,

you must analyze (like a message from T100)

bapi-return <b>git_rtrn</b>

Hi Steve,

This Bapi doesn't need the "Commit", so datas aren't save if errors occured.

As for the errors, check for the 'returnmessages' table.

Take a look at the following code :

call function 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'
    exporting
      headdata             = headdata
      clientdata           = clientdata
      clientdatax          = clientdatax
      plantdata            = plantdata
      plantdatax           = plantdatax
      forecastparameters   = forecastparameters
      forecastparametersx  = forecastparametersx
      planningdata         = planningdata
      planningdatax        = planningdatax
      storagelocationdata  = storagelocationdata
      storagelocationdatax = storagelocationdatax
      valuationdata        = valuationdata
      valuationdatax       = valuationdatax
      warehousenumberdata  = warehousenumberdata
      warehousenumberdatax = warehousenumberdatax
      salesdata            = salesdata
      salesdatax           = salesdatax
      storagetypedata      = storagetypedata
      storagetypedatax     = storagetypedatax
      flag_online          = ' '
      flag_cad_call        = ' '
    importing
      return               = return
   tables
*    materialdescription        =
*    unitsofmeasure             =
*    unitsofmeasurex            =
*    internationalartnos        =
*    materiallongtext           =
*    taxclassifications         =
     returnmessages             = t_return_msg .
*    prtdata                    =
*    prtdatax                   =
*    extensionin                =
*    extensioninx               =


  loop at t_return_msg.
    move-corresponding t_return_msg to t_return_msg_all.
    append t_return_msg_all.
  endloop.

Hope this helps,

erwan.

Thanks Guys - that was really useful.

Would you know what would have happened if I had used sy-subrc, as I had originally stated? Would it always have been set to '0'?

Thanks
