BAPI return value ?

nikhil_bose — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 06:22:13 GMT

Is it mandatory to set BAPIRETURN structure as return value for every BAPIs which we are creating?

The Function Module (remote) when i tried to wrap in the SWO1, it is not showing the output/table structure

where i may went wrong?

a RETURN structure is defined as an interface parameter of a BAPI which is used to log all the errors, warnings and the successful processes tha are triggered in the course of execution of a BAPI.

A successful execution of a BAPI requires the data to be commited and this process of performing a COMMIT is achieved by calling the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT' explicitly if there are no errors logged in the RETURN structure.

Hence it is mandatory to pass BAPI Return structure.

Yes it is mandatory to pass BAPI Return structure.

Try again obviously it will show the output/table structure.

Better u can elaborate your need. and actual requirement.

Hi,

yes we should maintain return structure for the bapi...becoz we have to capture the messages that will arise after executing the bapi...for a noraml function module we fenerally use exceptions to handle the errors but for bapi we use return structure for the same.

yes u should declare the BAPIRETURN structure,otherwise it gives error in SWO1.

u can update the values in BAPIRETURN structure using the system variables like

r eturn-id = sy-msgid.

return-type = sy-msgty.

return-number = sy-msgno.

return-message_v1 = sy-msgv1.

return-message_v2 = sy-msgv2.

return-message_v3 = sy-msgv3.

return-message_v4 = sy-msgv4.

Reward if helpful............

Hi,

We need to release the function module after u create generally we do tht mistake then only it wont be visible in the swo1 tcode. So to release the function module u can go to se37 give ur fm name and in tht first page itself u will hav an option like release the fm so release it. Then u can view it in SWo1,..

Hope it will solve ur problem.

Regards,

Sana
