Hi,

The return parameter RETURN contains success or error messages for the BAPI, and depending on the SAP R/3 Release has the dictionary structure BAPIRETURN, BAPIRETURN1, BAPIRET1, BAPIRET2 or BAPIRET2_FIX. The (common) relevant fields of these structures are:

TYPE (Message type: S(uccess), E(rror), W(arning), I(nformation) ) ;

ID (message class) ; NUMBER (message number) ; MESSAGE (message text) ;

MESSAGE_V1 , MESSAGE_V2 , MESSAGE_V3 , MESSAGE_V4 (message variables)

If the transmission is successful, RETURN is either completely empty (all the fields have their initial fields for their types), or only the TYPE field has the value 'S'. Refer to the documentation to find out which applies to the BAPI you are using.

BAPIRETURN is a return parameter that is declared in export parameters or table parameter.

It is a general structure for a BAPI return parameter. It is filled by function module BALW_BAPIRETURN_GET.

As of release 4.0A use BAPIRETURN1 and function module BALW_BAPIRETURN_GET1.

It is totally depend on the BAPI you are using. Use the same structure which BAPI is using.
