Display error message in batch job log

[Karan_Chopra_]

Hello

I have a batch job running and I have an error coming during some validation logic.

The problem is I need to continue the batch job when this error message comes and it should not cancel the batch job as it is doing currently but display that error message in batch job log, there are more similar error messages coming in job log and job gets finished, but when my error message comes job gets cancelled.

I cannot give it as info message as it will give wrong idea about message type.

Is there any FM by which we can add message in job log?

Hi Karan

When a program is run in batch job this is how we do. We add information message. Seconldy if you are not happy with this way you can create a  log samea s visible in SLG1

Already there are error messages which are getting displayed in Job log and they are returned as hard error messages only in the program, but in my case job gets cancelled but not in there case.

And i see error messages are displayed as Error messages only in job log with processing continued till end and not cancelled.

Please see screenshot

Hi Karan -

Is the message with message class 'ZVSC' is the message that you are showing as type 'E' ?

If that is the case then you can put a condition

IF sy-batch is initial.

MESSAGE E<messageno>(ZVSC).

ELSE.

MESSAGE I<messageno>(ZVSC).

endif.

The above code is just an example. You can do your coding as for your requirement.

[Karan_Chopra_]

message with class 'ZVSC' is not shown by me.

I have only shown info message(third one in message log) which I want to display as 'E' and not 'I'

[nabheetscn]

If you will throw an error mesasge the processing will stop. One of the option you can use is

message e001 into lv_message.

write /message

Hi Karan,

if it is your custom program through you are creating job, then you can change your message

like shown below

if sy-batch = 'X'.

Message 'Error in updating data ' type 'I'.

endif.

[Karan_Chopra_]

Sanjeev I have done that but problem is I do not want to give that as Information message but Error message only and continue processing.

If you see in screenshot 3rd message is given by me as information and you can see error messages also 6th and 7th and job continued till it is finished

Basically I want that 'I' to be displayed as 'E'.

Hi Change the code as shown below

if sy-batch = 'X'.

Message 'Error in updating data ' type 'I' DISPLAY LIKE 'E'.

endif.

[Karan_Chopra_]

this will not display message as 'E' in log, but as 'I' only.

already tried that

Hi karan,

i am sorry, i just misses that you are showing it as a log.

Let me see your issue more specifically.

Hi Karan,

Instead of raising error message why you cant try with ALV for all the messages ?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Aruna

Job is run thru standard SAP transaction for Shipment document create and we have some enhancements from where messages are coming, cannot display them in ALV

Hello KC,

Have you tried ROLLBACK WORK after the error message.

Regards,

Thanga

[nabheetscn]

Thanga Prakash error message will stop the processing no rollback work will work

[ThangaPrakash]

Yes you are right, I checked in my program and it is not working.

As I showed in screenshot it is possible to show error message in Job log and continue but I am not able to find a solution how ?

[RaymondGiuseppi]

Only available solution with job log seems to be the sending of an error message and then its handling it  with an error_message exception option. (*)

So you may be required to develop

• a FM that executes the standard report
• a wrapper progam that call this FM and monitor exception error_message.

But if the main report is a standard you should not be allowed to do that, changing the type of message without any other change would then allows execution of the "transactions".

In which customer-exit/BAdI is this message raised ?

Regards,

Raymond

(*) Read MESSAGE documentation : Messages in background processing

[Karan_Chopra_]

I am using a user exit so anyhow I can use FM in that.

Can you tell me how to handle with FM

[Karan_Chopra_]

Hi All

Issue is resolved

I had to create a new FM with exception specifically as 'ERROR_MESSAGE'.

Thanks everyone for helping !
