Try-Catch exceptionin ABAP....

[Former Member]

Hello,

In my code I am submitting another program. Now the programn that should be submitted is based in a configuration. So if the program is not present in the configuration, then I would like to catch error using try-catch execption stuff isntead of giving dump. Can somebody help on this ?

Hi,

check if the program exists in TRDIR table before using it in SUBMIT.

DATA: v_program TYPE syrepid.

v_program = 'ZTEST122'.

SELECT SINGLE name INTO v_program
              FROM trdir
              WHERE name = v_program.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

  SUBMIT (v_program) AND RETURN.

ENDIF.

Thanks

Hi Jainam

Try this .

TRY.

SUBMIT <ZPROGRAM> AND RETURN.

CATCH <EXCEPTION ID>.

ENDTRY.

This will solve your problem.

Hello Jainam,

Please use the following code.

DATA: oref   TYPE REF TO cx_root, 
           text   TYPE string. 

TRY. 
Submit <your Report Name> with < parameters> and return.
  CATCH <the exception name> INTO oref. 
    text = oref->get_text( ). 
  CATCH cx_root INTO oref. 
    text = oref->get_text( ). 
ENDTRY. 

IF NOT text IS INITIAL. 
  WRITE / text. 
ENDIF.

Hello Jainam,

The best solution would be to implement how Narendran has specified. The TRY-CATCH-ENDTRY block will not work in a SUMBIT statement because LOAD_PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND is a non-catchable exception. I quote from ABAP documentation for SUBMIT statement:

Exceptions 
Non-Catchable Exceptions 
Cause: The specified program was not found. 
Runtime Error: LOAD_PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND 
Cause: You tried to transfer an invalid value to a selection using the addition SIGN. 
Runtime Error: SUBMIT_WRONG_SIGN 
Cause: The specified program is not a report. 
Runtime Error: SUBMIT_WRONG_TYPE 
Cause: You tried to transfer more than one value to a report parameter. 
Runtime Error: SUBMIT_IMPORT_ONLY_PARAMETER 
Cause: You tried to use WITH sel IN itab to transfer a table that does not have the appropriate structure to a selection. 
Runtime Error: SUBMIT_IN_ITAB_ILL_STRUCTURE 
Cause: You tried to transfer a parameter that cannot be converted to the target field to the selection screen. 
Runtime Error: SUBMIT_PARAM_NOT_CONVERTIBLE 

Do not even try to CATCH the SUBMIT as some of the others have suggested out because it is a NON-CATCHABLE Exception. As soon as the ABAP run-time hits the SUBMIT, it will immediately short-dump even if you have a TRY-CATCH block with an exception class.... so better to check it against table TRDIR before SUMBIT. I recently had to do a similar check before SUBMIT, so this is how I did it:

Calling Program

    ............................  .....................
    read table lt_zft_buff_vers into ls_vers index 1.
    ev_prog_name = ls_vers-prog_name.
" Config was found - now check if the program name is valid and it is Type '1'
    if zcl_f_buff_config=>check_veh_prog_name( ev_prog_name ) is not initial.  "<---- check
        ev_prog_name = ls_vers-vr_abap_name.
        submit (ev_prog_name)
           with pa_bukrs eq pa_bukrs
           with pa_email eq pa_email
           with pa_herm  eq pa_herm
           with pa_msg1  eq pa_msg1
           with pa_msg2  eq pa_msg2
           with pa_optio eq pa_optio
           with pa_mthyr eq pa_mthyr
         and return.
    else.
" Program not found in program directory - (could be a typo in the customizing table)
" OR the program name entered is not an executable program (Type '1')
" we handle this here so that it does not short-dump
      message a011(zf_vr_messages)
      with ev_prog_name
      raising program_not_found.
    endif.

Method

method check_veh_prog_name.

" RV_EXIST = X -> program exists and program type = '1' (Executable)
" RV_EXIST = space -> program does not exist or program type <> '1'

    data: ls_trdir type trdir.

    select single * from  trdir into ls_trdir
                    where name = iv_program.

    check sy-subrc = 0.

    check ls_trdir-subc = '1'.

    rv_exist = lcl_gc=>gc_true.

endmethod.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Sougata.

Hi,

try like this

submit <report> with <parameters> and return.

CATCH <exceptions>.
