Is it possible to circumvent error message within a function module?

[Former Member]

Hello friends,

Is it possible to circumvent error message generation from within a function module? My program calls a FM (namely FKK_S_CADOCUMENT_WRITEOFF) to do some updates. However, in certain cases this FM throws error messages and terminates the whole process. I cannot control the aftermath because it never gets back to the calling program.It stops at the FM level and not at my program level.

In essence, what I would like to do is to let the FM do its thing, generate some kind of exception (but no error message), come back to the calling program, and then I can capture the status in my program and do what is necessary from then on.

Your help is greatly appreciated

Hi,

Do not use Excerption Tab.

Instead declare a variable or Structure at export parameter.

Which will return you error Description or Status of the FM.

For Example.

Goto Se37 ---> key in FM name of yours.

Go to Table tab

At Parameter Name Column key in RETURN, Type as LIKE and Associate type as BAPIRET2.

ThankS & regards,
