sy-subrc return code.

if sy-subrc = 0, i.e if the condition you specified is true.

then specify the action to be done.

if sy-subrc <> 0, i.e if the condition you specified is not true.

then specify the action to be done.

thats how you use the return code.

srinivas

Hello Ashok,

In ABAP, statements will returns return code. to access that return code use

<b>sy-subrc</b>.

You can change the sy-subrc value also while debugging.

Reward if helpfull.

Hi Ashok,

check sy-subrc value. If it is ZERO, then success.
