Alphabetical Overview of Catchable Runtime Errors

Below you find an alphabetical list of all catchable runtime errors. For each runtime error, the predefined exception class assigned is specified which is used to handle the respective runtime error as of Release 6.10. If an exception class is assigned to more than one catchable runtime error, it may contain as many message texts as required which you can find in the Class Builder on the Texts tab.

Almost all of the runtime errors listed here are combined together in exception groups. These exception groups are also assigned those ABAP keywords at which the runtime errors contained can be caught.
