BDCMSGCOLL

BDCMSGCOLL is a structure available in the abap dictonary. We use this to handle errors in call

transaction. We need to declare an internal table like bdcmsgcoll.

When a database table is updated we get some messages like sucessfull , or not sucessfull or sucessful with some warning message. All these messages pass through this structure. We can capture them using a function module called FORMAT_MESSAGE.

Check is WIki for BDC sample program..

If you are using CALL TRANSACTION then we generally have those errors in BDCMSGCOLL structure

Structure of BDCMSGCOLL.

TCODE -> BDC Transaction code

DYNAME -> Batch input module name

DYNUMB -> Batch input screen number

MSGTYP ->Batch input message type

MSGSPRA -> Language ID of a message

MSGID -> Batch input message ID

MSGNR -> Batch input message number

MSGV1 -> Variable part of a message

MSGV2 -> Variable part of a message

MSGV3 -> Variable part of a message

MSGV4 -> Variable part of a message

FLDNAME -> Field name

Steps for the error handling in CALL TRANSACTION:

LOOP AT IT_DATA.

Populate IT_BDCTAB table

CALL TRANSACTION USING IT_BDCDATA

MODE<A/N/E>

UPDATE<A/S>

MESSAGES INTO IT_BDCMSGCOLL.

if sy-subrc 0.

Call function FORMAT_MESSAGE.

Call Funciton BAPI_MESSAGE_GETDETAIL

Querry the message Text from teh table T100 for the Messages Collected into IT_BDCMSGCOLL.

The Text in T100-TEXT would be maintained with place holders (&1,&2,&3,&4)

Replace the place holders with Variable Texts from IT_BDCMSGCOLL(MSGV1,MSGV2,MSGV3,MSGV4).

Either APPEND the error message to another internal table IT_ERROR and display it finally or display the record and message immediately.

ENDLOOP.

Rewards if useful.
