this FM is used to format the message which we receive in bdc

use bdcmsgcoll structure to catch the error message from the call transaction.

then pass the values to this function module.

Without using this FM, u can take care of the message.

Hi,

Format_Message FM is using to format the message to show the output

as a standard message. You have to pass this FM all standardard system variables only it will imports a message into a table.

using that table you can display the messges.

Thanks

  read  table ip_bdcmsgcoll with key msgtyp = 'E' binary search .

  if sy-subrc = 0.
    call function 'FORMAT_MESSAGE'
      exporting
        id        = ip_bdcmsgcoll-msgid
        lang      = '-E'
        no        = ip_bdcmsgcoll-msgnr
        v1        = ip_bdcmsgcoll-msgv1
        v2        = ip_bdcmsgcoll-msgv2
        v3        = ip_bdcmsgcoll-msgv3
        v4        = ip_bdcmsgcoll-msgv4
      importing
