CAN ANY ONE PLEASE TELL WHAT ARE THE SY-SUBRC VALUES IN DIFFERENT SCENARIOS

Hi,

just go through the below document.

SY-SUBRC TO CHECK STATEMENT IS CORRECT OR NOT

SY-SUBRC = 0 CORRECT STATEMENT

SY-SUBRC = 4 NOT CORRECT

SY-SUBRC = 8 ERROR

[Clemenss]

Hi niranjan,

is this an academic or an test question?

Many commands, function modules and class methods will set a value different from 0 to SY-SUBRC if anything out of the ordinary happened.

Put your cursor at any ABAP command and press F1. If this command can set SY-SUBRC, the possible values are explained in detail.

Generally SY-SUBRC = 0 means everything fine, 4 something went wrong and 8 all wrong.

For functions modules and class methods, the caller will assign SY-SUBRC calues to exceptions raised.

Regards,

Clemens

Hi,

Most of ABAP commands and class methods will set a value

Sy-subrc to ‘0’ if successful.

Sy-subrc to ‘4’ if Failure.

In case of datasets :-

Sy-subrc to ‘0’ if successful.

Sy-subrc to ‘8’ if Failure.

In case of Functionmodules :-

The sy-subrc can vary from ‘0’ to ‘20’.

Ie

Sy-subrc to ‘0’ if successful.

And gets different sy-subrc values (from ‘1’ to ‘20’) for exceptions.

By depends on exception values u can do different messaging in program.

And at function module code u need to raise the exceptions by raise <nameofexception>

Hi Niranjan

One important thing is that when SY-SUBRC = 0, then the previous statement is successful, when it is not 0, then the previous statement was not successful.

For examples:

sy-subrc = 0

-

---

Success

sy-subrc = 4

-

---

Failure(known reason)

sy-subrc = 8

-

---

Internal error(Unknown reason).

sy-subrc = 1001

-

---

Failure error in BDC

Hope this resolves your query.

Please Reward pts if help.
