GENERATE REPORT statement results in SY-SUBRC 8

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I was trying to generate a report using GENERATE REPORT statment. It went on to sy-subrc 8.

What might be the possible reasons?

I have that report already present. Is it like the report should not exist already when we use Generate Report statement?

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

SY-SUBRC = 8 means SYNTAX Error, the program couldn't be generated! Check the report in SE38/SE80!

The report must exist!

Klaus

The Report exist. But its of type Subroutine Pool.

And what is the result of the syntax check in SE80 for this Subroutine Pool.?

Hi,

Use first 5 additions of the GENERATE statement and see why the generation error is coming. Check f1 help for documentation on these additions.

1. ... MESSAGE f1

2. ... INCLUDE f2

3. ... LINE f3

4. ... WORD f4

5. ... OFFSET f5

Thanks,

Vinod.
