FORMAT_MESSAGE will give you actual message based on the message id, message no, and message variables.

The messages returned by the call transaction BDCMSGCOLL Internal table will not make any sense to the business user.

If youuse FORMAT_MESSAGE fm you wil get a proper english text for the message .

Thanks Nimesh for quick response, so format_message gives predifined system mesages. then how does the user identify which is the error record based on format_message.

Or does format_message gives any idea of the record that has been errored out.

Using 'FORMAT_MESSAGE' you will get the exact message in English.

In the importing parameter you will receive the message into variable 'msg', which you can write in the report output

CALL TRANSACTION 'ME21' USING bdcdata MODE 'N' UPDATE 'S' MESSAGES INTO it_message.

LOOP AT it_message.

CALL FUNCTION 'FORMAT_MESSAGE'

EXPORTING

id = it_message-msgid

lang = it_message-msgspra

no = it_message-msgnr

v1 = it_message-msgv1

v2 = it_message-msgv2

IMPORTING

msg = v_msg

EXCEPTIONS

not_found = 1

OTHERS = 2.

ENDLOOP.

Hi jagadeesh,

CALL TRANSACTION tcode USING lt_bdcdata

MODE 'E' MESSAGES INTO itab.

Now itab contains only message no and message Id and not the actual message.

So to get the actual message we use 'Format_message' .In format_message we pass message id, message number and language .so based on these we get the exact message from T100 table.
