Hi,

sy-subrc is used to check if the statement executed previously gives intended output.

It can be used after select query/read statemnt/function module to check if they have performed intended operation.

If not , u can raise exceptions for that.

reward if helpful.

to know if a particular statement is success or not ..

(Return Value, Return Value After ABAP Statements)

select * from ...

if sy-subrc = 0. <-- 0 is success .... others means failure ..

endif.

similarly U can also check if Read table using sy-subrc ...

Hi,

SY-SUBRC is like a system flag.

If we do a database operation,if it succeed then SY-SUBRC will have value 0.Else 4 or 8.

Apart from database operation we can use it for internal table operations,string operation.Function modules etc

Reward if useful

Thanks Arjun

If this is the case tht means the condition is true and sy-tabix will be set .

SY-SUBRC = 0:

An entry was read.

SY-TABIX is set to the index of the entry.

-

---

SY-SUBRC = 2:

An entry was read.

SY-TABIX is set to the index of the entry. This return code can only occur when you use the COMPARING addition. For further detauls, refer to the COMPARING section of the additions

If this is the case the entry it will be checked and tht value while comparing with some other vale is not exactly comparabe thn such situation occurs we should thnk tht the value comparision is not done properly but the some wrong value is present.

______________________--

SY-SUBRC = 8:

No entry was read.

This return code only occurs with a SORTED TABLE or a STANDARD TABLE with the BINARY SEARCH addition. SY-TABIX is set to the number of all entries plus 1.

SY-SUBRC = 4:

No entry was read.

The value of SY-TABIX depends on the table type and whether the BINARY SEARCH addition was specified.

If the table is a SORTED TABLE or a table sorted in ascending order of the type STANDARD TABLE with the BINARY SEARCH addition, SY-TABIX refers to the next-highest index.

Otherwise, SY-TABIX is undefined.

HI

whether the function is performed successfully or not.

for example

call function 'REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET'

exporting

i_list_type = 0

importing

et_events = it_events

exceptions

list_type_wrong = 1

others = 2.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno

with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

endif.

in this if the function is executed properly then sy-subrc = 0,otherwise it is not equal to zero.

hi,

We can use the SY-SUBRC value to check whether our database hits are suceess or not.

if it is a sucess SY-SUBRC is set to 0.

otherwise its 4.

u can even use this for read table and verifying internal tables also.

Hi,

SY-subrc is the system variable which is used to check whether the data base query is true or not.

for eg:

select vbeln posnr from vbak into it_vbak where vbeln = p_vbeln.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

write : it_vbak-vbeln.

endif.

i.e., if there are records based on vbeln value then display vbeln field.
