catching error in bapi_po_create1

[sergio_cifuentes]

i'm calling the bapi_po_create1 from an rfc, it contains some errors, that i can see it in the return table, but i've tried to catch wether is an error ocurred or not, but the sy-subrc it's always 0, why??

here's my code:

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1'
    EXPORTING
      poheader          = v_header
      poheaderx         = v_headerx
    IMPORTING
      exppurchaseorder  = v_purch
    TABLES
      poitem            = v_item
      poitemx           = v_itemx
      return            = v_return.

  IF sy-subrc = 0.    "always = 0
    PERFORM pr_commit TABLES v_return
                      USING  'X'.
    WRITE: / v_purch.
  ELSE.
    LOOP AT v_return.
      WRITE:  / v_return-type,
                v_return-message.
    ENDLOOP.
  ENDIF.

Hi,

Define an internal table or type BAPIRET2 for holding the error messages and pass it to function module as RETURN table for catching errors.

loop at it_return.

commit if there are no errors.

endloop.

hi,

the call of 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1' will never set the sy-subrc, because there's no exception for it. The only chance you have is to check the return table for error messages, like

 
loop at v_return where msgty = 'E'.
      WRITE:  / v_return-type,
                v_return-message.
endloop.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
* everyting seems ok
    PERFORM pr_commit TABLES v_return
                      USING  'X'.
    WRITE: / v_purch.
endif.

hope it helps.

Instead of using sy-subrc use:

IF v_return[] IS INITIAL.

then check for message type E

ENDIF.
