Hi,

u need not use that many SY-SUBRC checks as many as exceptions that u get.

Every exception is defined with a number, so when an exception is raised a number is thrown. So the FM returns a number which signifies the type of exception raised. SY-SUBRC would hold that number immediately after the Function call.

So though there are plenty of exceptions raised by the FM, once SY-SUBRC check would do. but if you require to do different actions for different SY-SUBRC values, they go ahead using a case statement.

You can define your own message class (trx: se91) by giving your error messages. The use this exception class to handle the errors in your FM.

Hi,

It is not necessary to do as many SY-SUBRC checks as there are exceptions.

Normally SY-SUBRC is checked for ZERO.

But if your requirement is such that you have to check for a particular exception value or values then you can use as many SY-SUBRC checks as there are exceptions or for a particular exception.

Reward if it helps.
