How to raise custom exceptions?

[Former Member]

Folks,

In my ABAP code, I need to raise an exception:

    IF sy-subrc = 1.
       RAISE table_not_available.
    ENDIF.

Here, instead of raising a generic exception such as table_not_available, I would like to raise a more meaningful exception where the table name is also displayed as part of the exception. Something like:

RAISE 'Table ' + tableName + ' not available.'

How can I create such custom exceptions?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Try doing this via Message statement under the exception.........I am not sure whether u can raise exception like this.

Try:

REPORT ztest LINE-SIZE 132 MESSAGE-ID 00 LINE-COUNT 65.

DATA: tab_name(20) VALUE 'BKPF'.

sy-subrc = 1.

IF sy-subrc = 1.
  MESSAGE e398 WITH 'Table ' tab_name 'not available' RAISING
               table_not_available.
ENDIF.
