Obsolete Catchable Runtime Errors
Before class-based exceptions were introduced, exceptions for exception
situations of the runtime environment that could be successfully handled
in the program were defined exclusively as catchable runtime errors and
could be handled using the statement CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS .
All catchable runtime errors were predefined in the system and assigned
to the ABAP statements where they could occur. Several runtime errors
could be grouped together in an exception group and handled together
under the name of the group.
With the introduction of class-based exceptions, an exception class is
assigned to each catchable runtime error. The error can still be handled
as a catchable runtime error, but should be handled as a class-based
exception instead.
Catchable runtime errors cannot be triggered explicitly; they are only
triggered implicitly by the runtime environment.
