WHATS THE ROLL OF SY-SUBRC IN PROGRAM

[RichHeilman]

It is a universal indicator. Its value is based on whether a certain ABAP statement was successful or not. For example, if a SELECT statement is sucessful, the value of SY-SUBRC will be 0, otherwise, it will be 4.

Hi,

SY-SUBRC is a system variable..Which will tell the statement is successful or not..

Example

SELECT SINGLE * FROM MARA.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

WRITE: / 'NO RECORD FOUND'.

ELSE.

WRITE: / 'RECORD FOUND'.

ENDIF.

Thanks,

Naren

SY-SUBRC is used to check the Return Value, Return Value After ABAP Statements....

Hi Darsh,

Return Value

SY-SUBRC

Return value set by the following ABAP statements. In general, a content of 0 means that the statement was executed without problems.

· ASSIGNsets SY-SUBRC to 0 if assignment to field symbol is possible, otherwise 4.

· ASSIGN dref->* sets SY-SUBRC to 0 if dereferencing is possible, otherwise 4.

· CALL DIALOG with USING sets SY-SUBRC to 0, if processing was successful, otherwise <>0.

· CALL FUNCTION sets SY-SUBRC according to the exception handling.

· CALL METHOD sets SY-SUBRC according to the exception handling.

Hi,

SY-SUBRC is a system variable, it will check the statement is sucessful or not sucessful.

if SY-SUBRC = 0. -- then statement is sucessful and

if SY-SUBRC <> 0. -- then statement is not sucessful.

reward point if useful.

Hi,

Sy-subrc is a system variable which shows the status of a statements, conditions like that.

if sy-surc eq 0 it is successful.

4 Error

8 Dont remember check it

Hi Darsh ,

As in any case when a task is performed we want to know if it is succesfull or not , it not then what was the reson.

So in SAP or ABAP programming when ever you perform an operation then sy-subrc indicates if it is successful or not,.

If sy-subrc =0 , that means that the task was successful else we get a non 0 value for sy-subrc indicating the error that occured.

It is a return code from the ABAP statement.

And it indicates the STATUS of the execution of the statement. Status may be success or failure. If the statement is exeuted successfully then sy-subrc value is number ZERO. if the abap statement is failed then sy-subrc holds another number otherthan ZERO. There are specific meanings for these numbers depending on the abap statement you are executing.

what Clemens said is exactly correct, I am just adding some more stuff to this, the one and only statement that doesnt affects SY-SUBRC is TRANSLATE.
