when you are creating your own 'BAPI', you should not maintain the exceptions, but use the return table (structure BAPIRET2), to 'catch' all messages generated by the BAPI and send it back to the calling application.

However, what you should do is add two standard exceptions when calling the BAPI for catching communication failures and system failures (short dumps for example) in the calling system. Just copy and paste this behind the BAPI when calling it:

EXCEPTIONS

system_failure = 1 MESSAGE return_message

communication_failure = 2 MESSAGE return_message

OTHERS.

return_message can be defined as type c length 255.
