Return Parameter in BAPI

can any one tell me...... what is the purpose of Return parameter in BAPI ?

it return all the Message's ,Exceptions ,etc
it is a kind of
Catch ..... endcatch & Try & endtry what ever message's (S,E,A,I,W)it will capture and maintain in the strucuture called BAPIRETURN (or)BAPIRETURN2.
Reward points if it is usefull ..

How to use Return parameter of BAPI in DOE

Hello all,
I have a question on Return parameter of BAPI wrappers written in backend. When we use the BAPI in DOE there i do not see any table which stores these Return parameters then what is the use of writting it in BAPI wrappers.
Can anyone please clarify??
Thanks & Best Regards,
Abhishek

Hi,
BAPIRET are stored in log tables during delta download(You can check it in logs and traces of backend integration).
In case of upload, the bapiret is returned in message error list to the devices. Its also stored in message error list table which you can see it in message monitoring.
In upload scenario case all the BAPIRET returned by backend are captured ,where as in case of delta load or push the BAPIRET of type 'A' and 'E' are captured by default and other message types are captured when trace setting is higher.(SMMW_TRC_SETTING).

Is it necessary to pass RETURN parameter in bapi function module

Hai All,
 Is it necessary to pass structure to RETURN parameter in bapi_transaction_rollback function module. If it is not necessary then how can it gives return value. Please give me the answer for this one. some sample code below...
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK'
IMPORTING
 RETURN = i_return.
 LOOP AT i_return into wa_return WHERE type EQ c_error.
 wa1_out-postdoc = wa_return-message.
 ENDLOOP.
Thanks & Regards.

hi
bapi should never throw an error as it might be called for mass data proceessing
and it is prefferred not to hault the proceess bcoz of one or two errors.
that's why the error or success messages are caught and returned in return table.
in bapi_transaction_rollback the return parameter is not necessary as it will work without that as well.
the purpose of rollback bapi is just to undo whatever done before that.

Bapi RETURN Parameter

All,
I'm calling the BAPI, which returns the Error via Return Parameter. Can anyone tell me how can i show it Message interface?
Thanks..
BM

Go thru this document - Page no 29. This will show in the message area only.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d352a790-0201-0010-5082-b1a608d22b6c
If you wants show in a specific area on the view, use a Label Control, bind this label with a context variable(showErrorMsg), bind ur error message in that context variable like,
wdContext.setShowErrorMsg("This is the error");

How to read ABAP return parameter into java code

Hi all,
How JAVA environment can trap an error returned from abap code?
E.g.:
From a BAPI wrapper written like this:
"function zpm_gi_create .
""Interfaccia locale:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(ZBAPIGOODSMVT) TYPE ZBAPIGOODSMVT
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(RETURN) TYPE BAPIRET2

data: goodsmvt_header type bapi2017_gm_head_01,
        return2         type bapiret2 occurs 0 with header line,
call function 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE'
    exporting
      goodsmvt_header             = goodsmvt_header

      return                      = return2.
Our return (for istance is):

The type of RETURNING parameter must be fully specified

Hello,
I want to program a locall class, a method to return a table of a local type:
TYPES:

   id   TYPE char10,
   txt TYPE string,
END OF ty_line,
ty_line_tt type standard table of ty_line.

ENDCLASS.                    "cl_rep DEFINITION
Got an error as in the subject. Does that mean that the table type MUST be declared in the ABAP dictionary?
Regards,
Michal

Hello Michal
Since your static method is PUBLIC you cannot use local types in its interface. The type of the RETURNING parameter must be public as well. Thus, you have to define it in the DDIC.
Alternatively, you could switch to the more flexible EXPORTING parameters. Or you could return you itab as data reference, e.g.:
*& Report ZUS_LOCAL_CLASS                                             *
REPORT zus_local_class                                             .
TYPES:
BEGIN OF ty_line,
id TYPE char10,
txt TYPE string,
END OF ty_line,
ty_line_tt TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_line.
*       CLASS cl_html DEFINITION
CLASS cl_html DEFINITION FINAL CREATE PRIVATE.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    CLASS-METHODS parse IMPORTING fdata TYPE string_table
*    RETURNING value(fmeta) TYPE ty_line_tt.

RFC function module without RETURN parameter thows error in XI. Please help

Hi Experts,
I have a File to RFC scenario in XI. The RFC function module that I am using at the receiving end does not have "RETURN" parameter. So when I test my scenario I get "RETURN" parameter not found error on SXMB_MONI.
So is it mandatory that RFC function module must have RETURN parameter when used in XI?
Is there any work around to avoid the error without changing the RFC function module?
Please help!
Thanks
Gopal

In my senario the QOS is best effort because it is a Sync.
But the function module is sync in nature as it is returning a parameter called SO_Docs and Ret_Msg. The Ret_Msg contains the error info but it not of BAPIRET2 type.
So is there any way to avoid this error when my QOS is best effort?
Please help!

Return parameter of cursor_type from a package.

When running or debugging a database package, it appears that a return parameter of cursor_type can not be handled in that SQL Developer will not display the contents of the cursor. We have a large number of packages that contain cursors as output parameters. Currently we use PL/SQL developer which displays the contents of a cursor at the click of a button. This is a great advantage to us as it saves having to write code just for testing purposes.
We are trying to migrate all users to SQL Developer - Is it possible to display the contents of output parameter cursors in SQL Developer ?

As you discovered for yourself, ref cursors aren't supported yet.
Several users are asking for the same, so I'd say chances are big they'll get to that soon. To put more weight on this feature, vote for it on the SQL Developer Exchange.

Mandatory return parameter in Web Service

Hello,
Do you know how to set a return parameter mandatory in a Web Service using an Enterprise JavaBean (Netweaver 2004s)? The method has 2 return parameters in the WSDL:
<xs:complexType name="SignResponse">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="nfeid" type="xs:string" nillable="true" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="status" type="xs:int"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
The status parameter is mandatory, the other is optional (minOccurs="0"). But we also need the nfeid mandatory for the XI-mapping.
Java:
public class SignResponse implements Serializable {
 public SignResponse(String s) {
 status = -1;
 nfeid = s;
Business Method.
public SignResponse sign(

I have also tried to return a Document in my webservices but it doesn't work. From what I understood (I am a newbee), webservices must return primitive data type values (int, String, etc.).
Finally, I changed my webservices so that they return a String :
Document documentXML = new com.sun.xml.tree.XmlDocument();
//Return the XML document into string
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
((XmlDocument)documentXML) .write(writer);
return writer .toString();

Problem about using xmlbean as return parameter in workshop 9.2 jsr-181 WS

Hi
I met a problem with the jsr-181 web service's return parameters in workshop 9.2.
I wrote a web service which will return a jax-rpc-style javabean as return parameter. This javabean contained three xmlbean objects fields. So, the client can get those xmlbean objects when invoking the web service.
But I got the error like the following:
A java class "..." is being used as a parameter or return type that contains a property of field that is an xmlbean "...", this not allowed.
Maybe workshop 9.2 does not support xmlbean object as the returned javabean's field. But why, i can use that in the workshop 8.1. why workshop 9.2 does not support them.
And how can i do if the client want to get the three xmlbean objects when invoking the web service.
Thanks,
Xueh

Hi Xueh
I got it confirmed from engineering that we do NOT support any use of XmlBeans in a Pojo complex type.
The workaround is to create a top-level xmlbean type that references the other xmlbean types.
Thanks
Vimala
P.S: There seems to be some complexities involved in mapping a JAX RPC type (POJO) to a XMLBean Type. But we do have a internal bug that is tracking this issue.

Multiple Values in the Return Parameter

Hi,
My application has a decision table , with material group, division fields and has agent as the return parameter.
I need to maintain more than 1 user for each material group/division combination?
I even tried using return parameter 'agent' as structure and table too.
Can I maintain multiple entries. I don't want to maintain multiple rows for multiple agents.
Is this feasible? If yes, how can I do it?
Regards,
Hiranmayi
Edited by: Hiranmayi Praturi on Dec 8, 2010 7:32 AM

Thank you Carsten . I did as you suggested. But in the 2nd decision table (result decision table) , it gives me an error saying it has no condition columns.
Does this have anything to do with the SP , we have SAP_BASIS 701 .
PS: Your blogs and pdfs have been great help to learn BRFPlus. Thank you.

Returning Internal Table as Returning Parameter of Method (by Value).

When you return an internal table as the returning parameter of a method, it is passed by value. I understand the concept of passing by value vs. passing by reference, but exactly what this means in this case is ambiguous.
1) It could mean that the entire table, including data, is copied from the local table in the method into the parameter provided by the calling code.
2) Alternatively, it could mean that only the pointer to the table is passed by value and the data is not literally copied from one place in memory to another. This would not be the same as passing by reference. For instance, I believe this is how object references are passed by value.
I want to know how it works, so that I know if there is an efficiency problem with returning a huge table. The returning parameter is wonderful for getter methods, and I prefer to use it over exporting parameters, but I have some concern about passing tables as returning parameters since I don't know how this works.
Can anyone either explain this, or at least make it clear to me whether or not there is an efficiency issue?
Thanks, in advance,
-Chris

Thanks to those who tried to help me with this question, but I finally had to just figure it out on my own. I just realized today that there is a way to find the answer using the debugger's Go To->Status Display->Memory Use option. This shows how variables are stored in memory.
The answer:
First of all, if you set one internal table equal to another like:
i_tab1 = i_tab2.
or like:
i_tab1[] = i_tab2[].
both will simply set i_tab1 to point to the same memory that i_tab2 is using. It does not make a copy. Now, if you attempt to change i_tab1, with an append statement for instance, a copy of i_tab2's memory is made then! The requested change to i_tab1 is then applied to the copied data. AHA!!! This means that even if you think you are copying a table, you are not really doing it until it becomes necessary due to a divergence in values.
I specifically tested a returning parameter to see how memory is handled, and it is basically just like an '=' statment. No copy of the data is performed at first. The memory that is allocated for the local variable in the method is simply pointed to by the variable used in the calling code to recieve that value.
What if you then change the value in the calling code after the method has finished executing? The answer depends on the situation. If the value that you returned from the method is still being pointed to by another variable somewhere, then a copy is made when you attempt to change the returned table in the calling code, but if there is no longer another variable pointing to this memory, you can change the table in the calling program all you want without causing a copy in memory.
For instance, if you have a getter method that returns the value of an attribute, at first no copy will be made, but when you try to change the table in your calling code, a copy will be made then. However, if you just fill a local table in your getter method and return that table, there will never be a copy made, because the local variable that originally pointed to that memory expired when the method completed. That means that after the method completes, the only variable pointing to the allocated memory is the one in the calling code that recieved the returning value.
This is fantastic!! This behaives in a way that seems to provide maximum efficiency in most cases. Also, the table copies are never a waste, since they only happen upon changing of one of the table variables that point to the common memory, and in this case you would want to make a copy to avoid corrupting the other variable.
Also, even if you did return your table as an exporting parameter by reference, you would not gain any significant efficiency. There would still be no table copy if you don't change the returned table. Also, if you did change the returned table, you would still produce a table copy if there was another variable, like an attribute, still pointing to the memory that you set your exporting paramter from before.
The only situation that I can see resulting in a needless efficiency problem is if someone used a getter method to return the value of a table attribute, then changed the returned table in the calling program, and then used a setter method to set the whole table attribute equal to the changed table. This would be a waste, so maybe this should be accomplished in another way.
In conclusion, there is essentially no reason to hesitate returning a whole internal table as a returning parameter from a method call, even though it is pass by value.
Kudos to the ABAP development team for their good design!

The returned value of BAPI call

Hi, experts,
I have a question about returned value of BAPI call.
when the returned value is mapped as an attribute and this return value itsself is of the type: table of a certain structure. Is there any possibility that the value of this table still can be extracted from the mapped attribute? If it is possible, how?
If not, how should this kind of situation be handled:
when the returned value of the function at the backend has more one layer structure?
Thanks and best regards,
Fan

In my experience you shouldn't use the service wizard to generate the context of such deeply nested structures. They don't generate or map correctly because it tries to put the table type as the type of the context attribute.
Instead you should propery model the relationship in the context using nested nodes. Here is an example of address <-> address text where you can have multiple address texts per address. From the service this was a returned nested table.
****BP Address and Address Text
data lo_nd_bp_addr type ref to if_wd_context_node.
data lo_nd_bp_addr_text type ref to if_wd_context_node.
data lo_el_bp_addr type ref to if_wd_context_element.
* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <BP_ADDR> via lead selection
lo_nd_bp_addr = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_bp_addr ).
lo_nd_bp_addr->bind_table( wd_this->gt_bp_addr ).
****Add the Address Text Table as Child of each Address Context Record
data element_set type wdr_context_element_set.
field-symbols <wa_set> like line of element_set.
field-symbols <wa_bp_addr> like line of wd_this->gt_bp_addr.
element_set = lo_nd_bp_addr->get_elements( ).
loop at element_set assigning <wa_set>.
 read table wd_this->gt_bp_addr index sy-tabix assigning <wa_bp_addr>.
 lo_nd_bp_addr_text = <wa_set>->get_child_node( name = if_componentcontroller=>wdctx_bp_addr_text ).
 lo_nd_bp_addr_text->bind_table( <wa_bp_addr>-t_text ).
endloop.

Regarding Returning Parameter and Static method

Hi frnds,
I am learning oops ABAP. I want to use returning parameters in method and also STATIC METHOD.
If any example it will be more helpful
regards,
satya

Hi satya,
 Check this out ,Its helpful.
To get some values from a method , one can use the exporting, changing or returning parameters.If one uses RETURNING parameters, the following restrictions apply:-(1) No EXPORTING/CHANGING parameters can be used for the method.(2) Only one RETURNING parameter can be used.(3) RETURNING parameters are only passed by value.This program demonstrates the use of RETURNING parameters and the various ways to call a method with RETURNING parameter to get the value into some variable.
Sample Program
</code>
report ysubdel1 message-id 00.
data : w_num type i.
class c1 definition .
public section.
methods : m1 importing input1 type i
 input2 type i
 returning value(result) type i .
endclass.
class c1 implementation.
method : m1.
result = input1 * 2 + input2.
endmethod.
endclass.
start-of-selection.
data : obj1 type ref to c1 .
create object obj1.
Syntax 1
call method obj1->m1 EXPORTING input1 = 5 input2 = 4
 RECEIVING result = w_num.
write:/5 w_num .
Syntax 2
 w_num = obj1->m1( input1 = 10 input2 = 20 ).
write:/5 w_num .
Syntax 3
move obj1->m1( input1 = 2 input2 = 3 ) to w_num .
write:/5 w_num .
</code>
Static method example
<code>
REPORT zstatic. .
data : num type i.
class testclass definition.
public section.
class-methods : testmethod.
endclass.
class testclass implementation.
method : testmethod.
num = 5.
write:/5 num.
endmethod.
