SY-SUBRC = 4 While SORT.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

While SORT the internal table, it sorts but the return code is 4.

I am using only CHAR type fields only and its a STANDARD type table.

In 20 fields of the internal table, the 2nd, 3rd & 4th fields are used to sort.

Even these three fields have values or not, it returns 4.

When a SORT statement with STANDARD internal table will return 4? Provided all fields are CHAR type.

R.Nagarajan.

I don't think the SORT sets the sy-subrc at all. Can you check if it is set by another statement before the SORT?

Hi Nag..

What Eric said is obiously correct.

Can you please check this issue in debugging mode once.

Otherwise try to paste the sample code here.

Hi All,

Yes... SORT statement is not setting value for SY-SUBRC.

Hi,

I am not sure whether the SORT statement will have any effect on you sy-subrc. I think this sy-subrc = 4 is because of some other statement before your sort.
