I want to catch and handle SAPSQL_DATA_LOSS in my ABAP code.



I tried this:



 try. 
SELECT *
FROM (rtab_name) AS rtab
WHERE (sub_condition)
into table @<sub_result>
.

catch SAPSQL_DATA_LOSS into error.
...
endtry.


But above code is not valid. I get this message:




Type "SAPSQL_DATA_LOSS" is not valid




And I tried this:



 catch SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS SAPSQL_DATA_LOSS = 123.
SELECT *
...
.
endcatch.

if sy-subrc = 123.
...
endif.


But above code gives me:




Instead of "SAPSQL_DATA_LOSS" expected "system-exception" (translated from german to english by me)

This question is not about "why does this exception happen?". This is already solved. My code should handle the exception.

    @guettli you can not handle it. As JozsefSzikszai already said, you loose data when it is transferd to your INTO Variable. This can happen when the domain of your variable uses conversion routines. To be on the safe side, you can use the "new" OpenSQL Sysntax SELECT SINGLE XXX FROM YYY INTO @DATA(lv_xxx)...

Note: some exceptions can't be handled (there's no exception class) i.e. a runtime error occurs, and they are listed in the ABAP documentation (for instance, DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_REQUEST, ...) ; when a runtime error occurs, a short dump is generated (ST22).

After some tries I can propose you a possible solution.



This is a workaround:



I don't know if it can be applied to your case, since it needs the select statement to be wrapped into an RFC function module !



The main point is that a short dump (message type X) CAN be handled in RFC calls.



So using an RFC (CALL FUNCTION 'xxxxx' destination 'NONE' for example) and using special exception SYSTEM_FAILURE, the system does not terminate the caller program, but instead it returns a SY-SUBRC > 0 with the Short dump informations in system message fields (SY-MSGxx).



STEPS



Create a Function module (RFC enabled) with your select statement input + the row type of the result table. (All parameters passed by value)



You need this last parameter since generic tables can't be passed in RFC (no "TYPE ANY TABLE" allowed)



FUNCTION Z_DYN_SEL .
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
*"*"Local interface:
*" IMPORTING
*" VALUE(RTAB_NAME) TYPE TABNAME16
*" VALUE(SUB_CONDITION) TYPE STRING
*" VALUE(RESULT_TYPE) TYPE STRING
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------

* RTAB_NAME: DB Table
* SUB_CONDITION: WHERE Condition
* RESULT_TYPE: The ROW type of the internal table

field-symbols <sub_result> type any table.

* DEFINE LOCAL DYNAMIC TABLE TO STORE THE RESULT
data: lr_res type ref to data.
create data lr_res type standard table of (result_type).
assign lr_res->* to <sub_result>.

* DYNAMIC SELECT
select *
from (rtab_name) as rtab
where (sub_condition)
into table @<sub_result>.

* EXPORT RESULT TO A MEMORY ID, SO IT CAN BE RETRIEVED BY CALLER
export res = <sub_result> to memory id 'RES'.


Main program:
In this caller example some parameters are passed to the RFC.



KTOKD field (should be 4 chars long) is passed with a char10 value (producing your short dump).



If ANY Dump is triggered inside the function, we can now handle it.



If everything went fine, IMPORT result from the EXPORT statement inside the RFC



field-symbols <sub_result> type any table.
data: lr_res type ref to data.
create data lr_res type standard table of KNA1.
assign lr_res->* to <sub_result>.

data lv_msg type char255.

call function 'Z_DYN_SEL' destination 'NONE'
exporting
rtab_name = 'KNA1'
sub_condition = `KTOKD = 'D001xxxxxx'`
result_type = 'KNA1'
exceptions
system_failure = 1 message lv_msg.

if sy-subrc = 0.
import res = <sub_result> from memory id 'RES'.
else.
write: / lv_msg.
write : / sy-msgid, sy-msgno, sy-msgty, sy-msgv1, sy-msgv2, sy-msgv3, sy-msgv4.
endif.


RESULTS



After the RFC call in case of a short dump in the select statement, the program is not terminated and the following pieces of information are available



SY-SUBRC = 1


lv_msg is the error text (Data was lost while copying a value.)



Sy-msgid = 00
Sy-msgno = '341'
Sy-msgty = 'X'
Sy-msgv1 = 'SAPSQL_DATA_LOSS'

    • @guettli there is no way to handle it. It is like you access a null reference which causes a short dump that you can’t catch. It is a flaw in the code and you have to fix it.

    SAPSQL_DATA_LOSS is a runtime error.



    As SAPSQL_DATA_LOSS is not a class-based exception, it is not possible to catch it using try catch.



    As SAPSQL_DATA_LOSS is not a catchable runtime error, it is not possible to catch it using try catch SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS.



    see the below catchable runtime errors.

    After some tries I can propose you a possible solution.



    This is a workaround:



    I don't know if it can be applied to your case, since it needs the select statement to be wrapped into an RFC function module !



    The main point is that a short dump (message type X) CAN be handled in RFC calls.



    So using an RFC (CALL FUNCTION 'xxxxx' destination 'NONE' for example) and using special exception SYSTEM_FAILURE, the system does not terminate the caller program, but instead it returns a SY-SUBRC > 0 with the Short dump informations in system message fields (SY-MSGxx).



    STEPS



    Create a Function module (RFC enabled) with your select statement input + the row type of the result table. (All parameters passed by value)



    You need this last parameter since generic tables can't be passed in RFC (no "TYPE ANY TABLE" allowed)



    FUNCTION Z_DYN_SEL .
    *"----------------------------------------------------------------------
    *"*"Local interface:
    *" IMPORTING
    *" VALUE(RTAB_NAME) TYPE TABNAME16
    *" VALUE(SUB_CONDITION) TYPE STRING
    *" VALUE(RESULT_TYPE) TYPE STRING
    *"----------------------------------------------------------------------

    * RTAB_NAME: DB Table
    * SUB_CONDITION: WHERE Condition
    * RESULT_TYPE: The ROW type of the internal table

    field-symbols <sub_result> type any table.

    * DEFINE LOCAL DYNAMIC TABLE TO STORE THE RESULT
    data: lr_res type ref to data.
    create data lr_res type standard table of (result_type).
    assign lr_res->* to <sub_result>.

    * DYNAMIC SELECT
    select *
    from (rtab_name) as rtab
    where (sub_condition)
    into table @<sub_result>.

    * EXPORT RESULT TO A MEMORY ID, SO IT CAN BE RETRIEVED BY CALLER
    export res = <sub_result> to memory id 'RES'.


    Main program:
    In this caller example some parameters are passed to the RFC.



    KTOKD field (should be 4 chars long) is passed with a char10 value (producing your short dump).



    If ANY Dump is triggered inside the function, we can now handle it.



    If everything went fine, IMPORT result from the EXPORT statement inside the RFC



    field-symbols <sub_result> type any table.
    data: lr_res type ref to data.
    create data lr_res type standard table of KNA1.
    assign lr_res->* to <sub_result>.

    data lv_msg type char255.

    call function 'Z_DYN_SEL' destination 'NONE'
    exporting
    rtab_name = 'KNA1'
    sub_condition = `KTOKD = 'D001xxxxxx'`
    result_type = 'KNA1'
    exceptions
    system_failure = 1 message lv_msg.

    if sy-subrc = 0.
    import res = <sub_result> from memory id 'RES'.
    else.
    write: / lv_msg.
    write : / sy-msgid, sy-msgno, sy-msgty, sy-msgv1, sy-msgv2, sy-msgv3, sy-msgv4.
    endif.


    RESULTS



    After the RFC call in case of a short dump in the select statement, the program is not terminated and the following pieces of information are available



    SY-SUBRC = 1


    lv_msg is the error text (Data was lost while copying a value.)



    Sy-msgid = 00
    Sy-msgno = '341'
    Sy-msgty = 'X'
    Sy-msgv1 = 'SAPSQL_DATA_LOSS'
