As a developer, we frequently come across BDC / BAPI developments. When we have

 Like BDC and BAPI, Error Handling plays a crucial rule.

Recently, I was engaged in a development of BDC. And when it comes to BDC.

 RSS Feed BDCMSGCOLL plays a crucial role when opting for ‘CALL TRANSACTION’ method.

Here, in my case, I need to simply display a meaning full messages that are returned
after ‘Call Transaction’ into BDCMSGCOLL.

Instead going pillar to post, a simple combination of function modules does the entire job
required. The output and sample coding as in below.

Function Modules Used :

CONVERT_BDCMSGCOLL_TO_BAPIRET2
RSCRMBW_DISPLAY_BAPIRET2

*  messages of call transaction

DATA:   messtab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF bdcmsgcoll,

             bapiret2 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF bapiret2.

****************************SOME BDC Here************

   PERFORM bdc_field   USING ‘BDC_CURSOR‘   ‘DF05B-PSBET(01)‘.

   PERFORM bdc_field   USING ‘RF05A-ABPOS‘   ‘1‘.

   ct_params-defsize = ‘X‘.

   ct_params-updmode = ‘L‘.

   ct_params-dismode = p_mode.

   CALL TRANSACTION ‘FB05‘ USING bdcdata

   OPTIONS FROM ct_params

   MESSAGES INTO messtab.

*Convert BDCMSGCOLL to BAPIRET2

CALL FUNCTION ‘CONVERT_BDCMSGCOLL_TO_BAPIRET2‘

   TABLES

   imt_bdcmsgcoll = messtab[]

   ext_return  = bapiret2.

*Display messages from BAPIRET2

   CALL FUNCTION ‘RSCRMBW_DISPLAY_BAPIRET2‘

   TABLES

   it_return = bapiret2.

With Combination of above two function modules, following desired out put
obtained with out any custom code.

Output:

➕ Always giving a simple search into utility function modules from the standard
SAP Repository is quite a rewarding. you will come out clean with no bug-fixing
and formatting almost every time. 🙂

Thank you for sharing these functions. I also tried FINB_BAPIRET2_DISPLAY.

RSCRMBW_DISPLAY_BAPIRET2:

No information about message class and number, Type can be guessed from icon
color with ivalid header text 'T'.

Uses obsolete TABLES parameter

Message text displayed only if present in message table.

No navigation at all.

Judgement: Disappointing. Please do not use.

FINB_BAPIRET2_DISPLAY:

- Displays an annoying column ITEM

- Displays the (shortened) message text derived from parameters in message table

- Displays details and message text in full length on double-click

- Forward navigation from technical details possible

Judgement: Quite OK. Please use.

I prefer to store my messages using SAP application log. FUNCTION

'BAL_DSP_LOG_DISPLAY' does the best job. Quite similar to
FINB_BAPIRET2_DISPLAY, but no ITEM column in the display.

The great advantage is if you can navigate to the message definition, then do a
where-used-list to find the source code where the message was issued.
