Hi,

I have the following situation. Please help me how can i solve this.

I am catching the error into single exception class(

data:lr_exception TYPE REF TO cx_mdm_main_exception,.

CATCH cx_mdm_usage_error INTO lr_exception.

CATCH cx_mdm_provider INTO lr_exception.

CATCH cx_mdm_kernel INTO lr_exception.

CATCH cx_mdm_server_rc_code INTO lr_exception.

CATCH cx_mdm_not_supported INTO lr_exception.

Now i will pass the lr_exception to some other varible for error handling. There i need to know which type of error it is like usage_error or proverder error or kernel error or something like as follow.

If lr_exception type is cx_mdm_usage_error

-

---

do something

elseif lr_exception type is cx_mdm_provider

-- do something

endif.

How to do this kind of checking. Please suggest me if you have the soultion.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Vijay

Hello,

Please see the code bellow:

DATA:
    vehicle type ref to vehicle,
    plane_ref type ref to plane,
    ship type ref to ship.

catch system-exceptions move_cast_error = 4.
  vehicle ?= i_ref.
endcatch.
if sy-subrc = 0.
  "working with vehicle
else.
  "not a vehicle
endif.
catch system-exceptions move_cast_error = 4.
  plane ?= i_ref.
endcatch.
if sy-subrc = 0.
  "working with plane
else.
  "not a plane
endif.
catch system-exceptions move_cast_error = 4.
  ship ?= i_ref.
endcatch.
if sy-subrc = 0.
  "working with ship
else.
  "not a ship
endif.

This was extracted from the book ABAP Objects - An introduction to programming SAP applications from Horst Keller and Sascha Krüger.

Just change the catch mode to TRY and ENDTRY.

Hi,

This should be simple.

In each exception class you can have a "static attribute" that defines the name of the class.

Now when you catch the exception you can determine which class it refers to by using this value.

For example:

TRY.

CASE lr_exception->class_id.

WHEN (cx_mdm_usage_error). -

---

> This can be a hardcoded value

do something..

WHEN (cx_mdm_provider).

do something.

WHEN OTHERS.

RAISE unsupported_object_type.

ENDCASE.

ENDTRY.

I hope this helps.

Hi Vijay,

This is the siplest way to handle all your exceptions.You should go through this code. You can easily understanding.If any queries, ask me.

DATA: l_exceptions TYPE REF TO CX_ROOT,

l_excstring type string.

try.

catch l_exceptions into l_excstring.

case l_excstring.

WHEN cx_mdm_usage_error.

do something..

WHEN cx_mdm_provider.

do something.

WHEN cx_mdm_kernel

do something.

WHEN cx_mdm_server_rc_code.

do something.

WHEN cx_mdm_not_supported.

do something.

WHEN OTHERS.

RAISE unsupported_object_type.

ENDCASE.

ENDTRY.

If it useful, reward points.

Thank you,
