Hi Keshav,
yes, its a custom function module..
i am sending the code
FUNCTION zbapi_hr_record_time.
*"*"Local Interface:
*"  IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(EMPNO) LIKE  ZBAPIP9090-EMPNO
*"     VALUE(EDATE) LIKE  ZBAPIP9090-EDATE
*"     VALUE(NO_OF_HOURS) LIKE  ZBAPIP9090-NO_OF_HOURS
*"     VALUE(COMMENTS) LIKE  ZBAPIP9090-COMMENTS
*"     VALUE(EENDDA) LIKE  ZBAPIP9090-EENDDA DEFAULT SY-DATUM
*"     VALUE(EBEGDA) LIKE  ZBAPIP9090-EBEGDA DEFAULT SY-DATUM
*"  EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(RETURN) LIKE  BAPIRET2
DATA : p9090 LIKE p9090,
       opern LIKE psyst-ioper VALUE 'INS'.
DATA : it_pa9090 LIKE pa9090 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
       wa_hours(2) TYPE c.
SELECT no_of_hours FROM pa9090
                   INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_pa9090
                   WHERE empno = empno
                   AND   edate = edate.
CLEAR wa_hours.
LOOP AT it_pa9090.
wa_hours = wa_hours + it_pa9090-no_of_hours.
ENDLOOP.
wa_hours = wa_hours + no_of_hours.
IF wa_hours GT 24.
*CALL FUNCTION 'BALW_BAPIRETURN_GET2'
*  EXPORTING
*    type             = 'E'
*    cl               = 'ZHR_TIME'
*    number           = '000'
**   PAR1             = ' '
**   PAR2             = ' '
**   PAR3             = ' '
**   PAR4             = ' '
**   LOG_NO           = ' '
**   LOG_MSG_NO       = ' '
**   PARAMETER        = ' '
**   ROW              = 0
**   FIELD            = ' '
* IMPORTING
*   return           = return
ELSE.
ENDIF.
ENDFUNCTION.
in the aboove code, after IF condition (IF wa_hours GT 24.) instead of using BALW_BAPIRETURN_GET2 function module i want an alternative function module to return message. here in BALW_BAPIRETURN_GET2, RETURN is declared as BAPIRET2,  but i want it as of BAPIRETURN1 structure. so could you please tell me if u know any other FM to RETURN message which uses BAPIRETURN1 structure.
