Hi Madhu,

The ABAP runtime environment handles messages according to the type declared in the MESSAGE statement and the context in which the message was sent. The following message types exist:

A - Abend : Transaction terminated

E - Error : Error message

I - Info : Information

S - Status : Status message

W - Warning : Correction possible

X - Exit : Transaction terminated with short dump

The message appears in a dialog box and the program terminates. When the user has confirmed the message, control returns to the next- highest area. All the internal sessions are deleted from the stack.

1) MESSAGE E0004(Message class) WITH 'Hugo'.

2) MESSAGE 'File not found.' TYPE 'E'.

The text 'File not found.' is output as the error

message.

THE EASIEST SYNTAX IS

MESSAGE 'ERROR' TYPE 'E'.

MESSAGE 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' TYPE 'W'.

.............

MESSAGE <'MESSAGE'> TYPE <'S'/'I'/'E'/'W'/'A'/'X'>

Hi,

write the statement :

message E001 with text-001.

Depending on the program context, an error dialog appears

here the program stops because of the eerror message, if you correct that and reexecute then this will work.

whateer you give in the TEXT-001, that will come as a message, and this message will show in the status bar...

if you write this in the selection screen : -

Selection screen processing terminates, and the selection screen is redisplayed. The screen fields specified through the additions to the AT SELECTION-SCREEN statement are ready for input. The user must enter a new value. The system then restarts the selection screen processing using the new values. You cannot use error messages with the ON HELP-REQUEST or ON VALUE-REQUEST additions. Instead, a runtime error occurs.

Hi Madhu,

Following program will be useful to know how to display a message whenever the program encounters a error according to cortain condition.

data: z type i.

parameters: x type i,

y type i.

if x = space or y = space.

MESSAGE E000(ZVAI).

• enter valuse in all required fields.

endif.

z = x + y.

write:/ 'The sum is ', z.

To select a message from a message class, you have to create a message class first and then samve some messages in that class using SE91.

Then in the program, to display the message between if and endif statements, click the PATTERN button and select the MESSAGE radio button and enter the required details there.

Hope this will be useful for you.

Hi,

As per my understanding to your doubt,

You can use 'if sy-subrc <> 0' and raise an error message with message id including 'E'.

Hello Madhu,

If you run the program with syntax error, system is giving error.

What type of checking you need. ?

Dear Naimesh

have raise a message in common words.

Hi

See the previous answers, you can use the message nr. 208 of class 00.

This message contains only & and you can replace it with your message:

IF ERROR

MESSAGE E208(00) WITH 'ERROR!!!'.

ENDIF.

runtime error can happen for different reasons. and if you dont catch them throw proper messages the system will dump.

to catch errors you have to use try catch block.

for example if you are are doing a multiplication you know it for sure that the if the parameters are not numbers you will get convert_no_number error. to catch that you have to do that within try catch block to catch the error.

check out this link for more info.

Hello Madhu,

You can catch some runtime errors by CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS except1 = rc1 ... exceptn = rcn.

But Not all...!!

Refer the help on CATCH..
