ABAP CALL FUNCTION EXC SHORT FORM Statement syntax, information and example SAP source code
CALL FUNCTION EXCEPTIONS - Short Form
ABAP Syntax(Obsolete)
EXCEPTIONS exc1 exc2 ...
What does it do? This short form for specifying non-class-based exceptions in the parameter list of the statement CALL FUNCTION is obsolete. It has the same effect as the following:
EXCEPTIONS exc1 = 1
exc2 = 1
...
Each exception listed after EXCEPTIONS that is not assigned to an explicit return code using = is given the value 1 implicitly.
Latest notes: This short form is extremely error-prone and should never be used.
Both the short form and the complete form can appear in a
Example ABAP Coding The syntax of the following function module call is correct, but can have unpredictable results.
CALL FUNCTION func EXCEPTIONS = 4.
The developer probably expected the following:
CALL FUNCTION func EXCEPTIONS OTHERS = 4.
The complete form of the statement is as follows, however:
4 = 1.
Since exceptions called "=" are not possible, and exceptions called "4" are unlikely, then this call will almost certainly not catch any exceptions, even though it is intended to catch every exception.
