Flushing & Cathicng Exceptions

[Former Member]

Hello ABAP-Experts,

I have a problem in understanding how to catch exceptions after calling method cl_gui_cfw=>flush.

Why calling "flush": Well, otherwise if there is no FLUSH after directory_create (for example) is called, the value of rc (methods internal return code) is checked prematurely.

Here my attempt:

"----

---

" Calling method directory_create

call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_create

exporting

directory = tmpdir

changing

rc = returncode

exceptions

directory_create_failed = 1

cntl_error = 2

error_no_gui = 3

directory_access_denied = 4

directory_already_exists = 5

path_not_found = 6

unknown_error = 7

not_supported_by_gui = 8

wrong_parameter = 9

others = 10.

sy-subrc = my_sy_subrc " <=== ???!

"----

---

" Calling method flush

call method cl_gui_cfw=>flush

exceptions

cntl_system_error = 1

cntl_error = 2

others = 3.

"----

---

sy-subrc = my_sy_subrc2 " <=== ???!

Now my problem: How can I be sure to catch the execeptions of method cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_create (1 to 10), since the flush method has its own exceptions (1 to 3)? After calling flush, I think they are overwritten by the flush exception -- checking them before the flush makes no sense, because the method is probably not executed (Automation queue).

(Background: I am writing test-programs for some frontend methods, and want to catch all possible exceptions and to write them in a internal table, so that I can see which method crashes.)

I hope my problem is clear and someone can clarify.

Thanks a lot in advance

Regards

Jasmin

Hi,

You can rely on the SUBRC after calling the directory_create because the flush is already present in it

Look at the code of the method :

> call method handle->call_method

> exporting

> method = 'CreateDirectory'

> p1 = directory

> p_count = 1

> queue_only = ' '

> importing

> result = rc

> exceptions

> others = 1.

>

> if sy-subrc <> 0.

> raise cntl_error.

> endif.

>

> call method cl_gui_cfw=>flush

> exceptions

> cntl_system_error = 1

> cntl_error = 2

> others = 3.

> if sy-subrc <> 0.

> raise cntl_error.

> endif.
