hmmm you are comparing bees and elephants.

sy-subrc is a system variable which is 0 when statements are sucessful.

check is a way to exit program when condition is not fulfilled.

Hi Sekhar,

1. Check can be used to check any condition.

eg.

CHECK A = 1.

2. Whereas sy-subrc is a system variable,

which keeps track of success/failure after almost all abap statements.

Hi,

Sy-subrc is a system field its a return code and check is just like if statement.

If sy-subrc eq 0.

endif.

check sy-subrc eq 0.
