<b>SY-SUBRC = 0</b> Everything works Ok.

<b>SY-SUBRC = 3</b> You got an error.

It actually should be...

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
ELSE.
*All other SY-SUBRC numbers...
ENDIF.

Hello Ajay

If the coding is exactly as you described then it is faulty. The coding should look like:

  CALL FUNCTION '...'
     ...
   EXCEPTIONS
     first_exception = 1
     second_exception = 2
     others = 3.

  CASE syst-subrc.
    WHEN '0'.  " ok

    WHEN '1'.
"     do error handling

    WHEN others.
"    do error handling (error 2 & 3 fall into the same "error handling group")
  ENDCASE.

The sy-subrc is set when an exception is raised within the function module. The numbering of the exceptions is arbitrary.

SY-SUBRC = '0' usually means the function call was ok, else there was some kind of error.

Ajay,

sy-subrc = 0 means the above statement is successful.

sy-subrc = 3 depends on what the condition has been set in that FM. It may be set to some exception.
