ABENABAP_MESSAGES - ABAP MESSAGES

Messages are repository objects that are managed using the message maintenance tool in the ABAP Workbench. Fundamentally, a message is a short text with its own ID that can be expanded using an optional long text. A message exists in its original language and in all languages into which it is translated.

The statement MESSAGE is the basic statement for working with messages in an ABAP program. When the statement MESSAGE is used to send a message, a message type must be specified. This type then controls the system behavior when the message is sent.

• In the basic form of the statement MESSAGE, the behavior of a message depends on the context in which the message was sent

• The variant MESSAGE ... RAISING raises a non-class-based exception and uses the message as its exception text.

• The variant MESSAGE ... INTO assigns the short text of the message to a field.

The system interfaces IF_T100_MESSAGE and IF_T100_DYN_MSG make it possible to associate objects with messages and output them using the statement MESSAGE. This is intended mainly for exception texts of exception classes.

Only use messages for error handling in classic dynpros and as exception texts
