Dear Ravi

One option is to check the table SXMSPMAST.

It ahs a field called MSGSTATE which contains the status code (21,3,14,29 etc) of each message.

You can wtrite write a report to get the status code and then convert the status code into the meaningfull description.

Hi,

To read the messages from message no

Use function MESSAGE_FORMAT which will give you text which you are looking for. This messages are read from T100 table by this function. You can not manually read them.

CALL FUNCTION 'FORMAT_MESSAGE'

EXPORTING

ID = P_MSGID

LANG = SY-LANGU

NO = P_MSGNO

V1 = P_MSGV1

V2 = P_MSGV2

V3 = P_MSGV3

V4 = P_MSGV4

IMPORTING

MSG = P_TEXT

EXCEPTIONS

NOT_FOUND = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

WRITE:/ P_TEXT.

ENDIF.

Hi,

Goto transaction SE91 - Message Maintenance.

Messages allow you to communicate with the users from your programs.

They are mainly used when the user has made an invalid entry on a screen.

To send messages from a program, you must link it to a message class.

Each message class has an ID, and usually contains a whole set of message. Each message has a single line of text, and may contain placeholders for variables (e.g. & & & - three variables).

All messages are stored in table T100.

Once you have created a message, you can use it in the MESSAGE statement in a program.

regards,

ganesh.
