    SAP ABAP - Exception Handling

    Uploaded by

    Chandu Chandrakanth
    Exception handling in SAP ABAP allows programs to handle errors and unexpected situations gracefully. Exceptions are raised using RAISE and caught using TRY-CATCH blocks, which specify exception handlers. The TRY block contains code that could cause exceptions, while CATCH blocks handle specific exception types. A CLEANUP block runs after exceptions to restore consistent state. Common exceptions include divide-by-zero and invalid conversions. Attributes provide details about exceptions.

    SAP ABAP - Exception Handling

    An  exception  is a problem that arises during the execution of a program. When an exception
    occurs the normal flow of the program is disrupted and the program application terminates
    abnormally, which is not recommended, therefore these exceptions are to be handled.

    Exceptions provide a way to transfer control from one part of a program to another. ABAP
    exception handling is built upon three keywords − RAISE, TRY, CATCH and CLEANUP. Assuming
    a block will raise an exception, a method catches an exception using a combination of the TRY and
    CATCH keywords. A TRY - CATCH block is placed around the code that might generate an
    exception. Following is the syntax for using TRY – CATCH −

    TRY.

    Try Block <Code that raises an exception>

    CATCH

    Catch Block <exception handler M>

    . . .

    . . .

    . . .

    CATCH

    Catch Block <exception handler R>

    CLEANUP.

    Cleanup block <to restore consistent state>

    ENDTRY.

    RAISE − Exceptions are raised to indicate that some exceptional situation has occurred. Usually,
    an exception handler tries to repair the error or find an alternative solution.

    TRY − The TRY block contains the application coding whose exceptions are to be handled. This
    statement block is processed sequentially. It can contain further control structures and calls of
    procedures or other ABAP programs. It is followed by one or more catch blocks.

    CATCH − A program catches an exception with an exception handler at the place in a program
    where you want to handle the problem. The CATCH keyword indicates the catching of an
    exception.

    CLEANUP − The statements of the CLEANUP block are executed whenever an exception occurs
    in a TRY block that is not caught by the handler of the same TRY - ENDTRY construct. Within the
    CLEANUP clause, the system can restore an object to a consistent state or release external
    resources. That is, cleanup work can be executed for the context of the TRY block.

    Exceptions can be raised at any point in a method, a function module, a subroutine, and so on.
    There are two ways an exception can be raised −

    Exceptions raised by ABAP runtime system.

    For instance Y = 1 / 0. This will result in a run time error of type CX_SY_ZERODIVIDE.

    Exceptions raised by programmer.

    Raise and create an exception object simultaneously. Raise an exception with an exception
    object that already exists in the first scenario. The syntax is: RAISE EXCEPTION exep.

    Catching Exceptions
    Handlers are used to catch exceptions.

    Let’s take a look at a code snippet −

    DATA: result TYPE P LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 2,

    exref TYPE REF TO CX_ROOT,

    msgtxt TYPE STRING.

    PARAMETERS: Num1 TYPE I, Num2 TYPE I.

    TRY.

    result = Num1 / Num2.

    CATCH CX_SY_ZERODIVIDE INTO exref.

    msgtxt = exref→GET_TEXT( ).

    CATCH CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUMBER INTO exref.

    msgtxt = exref→GET_TEXT( ).

    In the above code snippet, we are trying to divide Num1 by Num2 to get the result in a float type
    variable.

    Two types of exceptions could be generated.

    Number conversion error.


    Divide by zero exception. Handlers catch CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUMBER exception
    and also the CX_SY_ZERODIVIDE exception. Here the GET_TEXT( ) method of the
    exception class is used to get the description of the exception.

    Attributes of Exceptions
    Here are the five attributes and methods of exceptions −

    7/31/22, 7:58 PM SAP ABAP - Exception Handling

    S.No. Attribute & Description

    1
    Textid

    Used to define different texts for exceptions and also affects the result of the method
    get_text.

    2
    Previous

    This attribute can store the original exception that allows you to build a chain of
    exceptions.

    3
    get_text

    This returns the textual representation as a string as per the system language of the
    exception.

    4
    get_longtext

    This returns the long variant of the textual representation of the exception as a string.

    5
    get_source_position

    Gives the program name and line number reached where the exception was raised.

    Example
    REPORT ZExceptionsDemo.

    PARAMETERS Num_1 TYPE I.

    DATA res_1 TYPE P DECIMALS 2.

    DATA orf_1 TYPE REF TO CX_ROOT.

    DATA txt_1 TYPE STRING.

    start-of-selection.

    Write: / 'Square Root and Division with:', Num_1.

    write: /.

    TRY.

    IF ABS( Num_1 ) > 150.

    RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE CX_DEMO_ABS_TOO_LARGE.

    ENDIF.

    TRY.

    res_1 = SQRT( Num_1 ).

    Write: / 'Result of square root:', res_1.

    res_1 = 1 / Num_1.

    Write: / 'Result of division:', res_1.

    CATCH CX_SY_ZERODIVIDE INTO orf_1.

    7/31/22, 7:58 PM SAP ABAP - Exception Handling

    txt_1 = orf_1→GET_TEXT( ).

    CLEANUP.

    CLEAR res_1.

    ENDTRY.

    CATCH CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_ERROR INTO orf_1.

    txt_1 = orf_1→GET_TEXT( ).

    CATCH CX_ROOT INTO orf_1.

    txt_1 = orf_1→GET_TEXT( ).

    ENDTRY.

    IF NOT txt_1 IS INITIAL.

    Write / txt_1.

    ENDIF.

    Write: / 'Final Result is:', res_1.

    In this example, if the number is greater than 150, the exception CX_DEMO_ABS_TOO_LARGE is
    raised. The above code produces the following output for the number 160.

    Square Root and Division with: 160

    The absolute value of number is too high

    Final Result is: 0.00
