Populating BAPI Return Table

[Former Member]

I have developed several methods and FM to pull data into secondary systems. Done a fair amount of searching and reading to find out that it is best to use a bapi return table to return any error conditions.

I have searched and read all about the function BALW_BAPIRETURN_GET2. I have also created a message class and a couple of messages via SE91.

If i run BALW_BAPIRETURN_GET2 from SE37 plugging the appropriate parameters, it returns my customer message as expected. However, when I run the same FM, passing the same parameter values from within another FM I do not get my message, I get a concatenantion of my parameters.

Ex...

type = 'I'.

cl = 'zcsequip'.

number = 001.

par1 = i_sernr.

CALL FUNCTION 'BALW_BAPIRETURN_GET2'

EXPORTING

type = type

cl = cl

number = number

par1 = par1

IMPORTING

return = return.

Returns the following message in the Return structure... " I: zcsequip: 001 0000000044 " instead of " 0000000044 is not a valid serial number."

I'm sure I am missing something with the set up of the customer message class or the execution of 'BALW_BAPIRETURN_GET2'.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

cl = 'zcsequip'. 

Case-sensitive maybe, did you check?

Bingo - that was the issue. I haven't got my brain thinking case-sensitive yet.

Thank you very much!
