what is the use catch and endcatch in bapi programming

Hi,

You can handle with this way some incorrect arithmetic operation, like division by zero...

Your program will not have a short dump, keeps the control, and you can write a nice error handling.

Note: there are catchable and non-catchable exceptions. Non-catchable ones will cause ABAP dump, even when they are between CATCH-ENDCATCH.

DATA: result TYPE i,

number TYPE i.

CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS arithmetic_errors = 4

OTHERS = 8.

...

result = 1 / number.

...

ENDCATCH.

IF sy-subrc 0.

...

ENDIF.

this is not specific to BAPIs u can use catch..endcatch in programs,FMs,classes,...

catch..endcatch is for handling the catchable system exceptions.

Hi ,

We can use ' catch & end catch' for a BAPI function module to catch the system exceptions when a program dumps?

Sample code check :

DATA : res TYPE i,

number TYPE i.

CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS arithmetic_errors = 4

OTHERS = 8.

...

res = 1 / number.

...

ENDCATCH.

IF sy-subrc eq 0.

...

ENDIF.

Reward if useful.
