ABAP INSERT and SUBMIT REPORT --> Catch SYNTAX_ERROR

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

I wrote an ABAP to create dynamically another ABAP and SUBMIT it.

When the is an SYNTAX_ERROR I would like to catch this exception.

Does anybody know how to catch an SYNTAX_ERROR exception to avoid the short dump?

Thanks, Regards

Mario

Hi,

Keep the submit statement in try endtry block. The exception to catch is : CX_SY_SYNTAX_ERROR

TRY.

SUBMIT program.

CATCH CX_SY_SYNTAX_ERROR.

MESSAGE 'syntax error' TYPE 'E'.

ENDTRY.

Hi Ashish

Hi,

Please replace the exception name CX_SY_SYNTAX_ERROR with the one you are getting in the dump.

It is the exception name, there will also be an exception class mentioned...CX_ or CY_ something....use that.

I think there is no catchable exceptions for the SUBMIT statement so you are going to have to instead do something with sy-subrc instead. For example:

REPORT ZPROGRAM1

data: rc type sy-subrc.

SUBMIT ZPROGRAM2 and return.

import rc from memory-id Z_PROG2.

if rc is not initial.

·      *  error handling here

else.

* normal processing

endif.

now:

REPORT ZPROGRAM2.

data: rc type sy-subrc.

do all your program stuff here

catch errors and move value to rc, or, rc = sy-subrc.

EXPORT rc to memory id ‘Z_PROG2’.

Hi Glen,

this will not work

When

SUBMIT ZPROGRAM2 and return.  --> Throws an error.

Than the line

          import rc from memory-id Z_PROG2.

will not be processed.

Thx, Mario

If you "catch" the error correctly in Program 2 then it will.

Hi,
try to use 'cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( )'
and 'CATCH cx_sy_rtti_syntax_error'.
