Sy-subrc fail scenerio's while modify statement

[former_member622443]

Will there be a condition for modify statements when the sy-subrc will not be equal to zero?

Are you asking the reason/cause when sy-subrc is not equal to 0 after modify ?

When sy-subrc <> 0, it means that at least one line could not be processed as there is already a line with the same unique name secondary index in the database table.

Hi Midhun,

Yes...you will have a condition when sy-subrc will not be '0'.

• MODIFY sets SY-SUBRC to 0 if the operation is successful, otherwise to 4.
