RAISE

Short Reference

Syntax

RAISE exception.

Effect

The statement triggers the non class-based exception exception. It is only useful during processing of methods and function modules in which the exception exception is defined. After the exception exception is triggered, the system proceeds as follows:

• If the exception is triggered in a method or function module whose caller assigns a return value to the exception, then the procedure ends immediately, the system returns to the calling position, and the system field sy-subrc is set according to the assignments.
  
• If the exception is triggered in a method or function module whose caller does not assign a return value to the exception, a runtime error is then triggered whose short dump contains the name of the exception.
  
• If the exception is triggered in a subprogram, the system searches for the first function module in the procedures for the preceding call hierarchy. If it finds such a function module and the exception is defined in it, the system acts as though the exception was triggered in this function module. Otherwise, a runtime error will occur.
  
• In all other processing blocks, the triggering of a non class-based exception causes a runtime error that immediately ends all further program execution.
  

This form of the statement RAISE cannot be used in the same processing block as the statement RAISE EXCEPTION to trigger class-based exceptions.

Note

The statement MESSAGE with the addition RAISING also triggers a non class-based exception.
