Check function module called with an event

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I have an event defined in SWETYPV.

In that event I have a check function module.

The check function module has 5 different cases where it can raise an exception thus stopping the workflow after it from starting.

I have cases where an exception was raised during the course of normal production work, causing the workflow after it to not start, but I cannot tell which exception was raised.

When I raise the event myself through SWUE and debug the code using the same data - the code works fine without raising an exception.

Is there a way in the function module to return which exception was raised and placed in the event log so that I can tell which part of code is failing?

Or how is the best way to tell which excpetion was raised in a check function module?

Thanks.

Usually when you define exceptions in your function modules, you handle this exceptions by the calling program. for example. If you have 3 exceptions in your function module, when you call the function module, you assign a value to the exception, which when the exception is raised, the function module ends and SY-SUBRC is set to the value that you have assign to the exception.

Lets say you have the following function, you are calling it this way, notice that there are 3 exceptions for this function module. Let's say that ERROR2 was raised in the function module. Now SY-SUBRC is set to 2. Now you know which exception was raised and you can handle it accordingly.

Call function 'ZTEST'
    exceptions
        error1 = 1
        error2 = 2
        error3 = 3.

As you can tell - this is my first time posting to this forum.

Hopefully I am doing this correctly.

My function module does have exceptions like you described.

However, when an event is raised - and I have the event logs turned on - the only thing I get in the event log is the message 'Check FM ends with exception'. It does not tell me what sy-subrc is.

When I raise the event by hand and debug it - I don't get any exception. Something is happening when it is raised in the normal course of business - and I'm not sure how to capture sy-subrc in the event log so I can tell which exception occured.

It sounds like this is not an abap question but a workflow question from reading the other post.

Maybe it would be better if I posted it there.

Thanks for the help!

See some standard check function module and check how the exceptions are raised or captured.

You have a better chance of getting quick answers from the where the workflow questions are discussed.
