Assignment of Catchable Runtime Errors to Exception Groups

ABAP - Keyword Documentation → ABAP - Reference → Obsolete Language Elements → Obsolete Program Flow → Obsolete Catchable Runtime Errors →

Most of the obsolete catchable runtime errors are assigned to exception groups. Using the name of an exception group, all catchable runtime errors of the group can be caught simultaneously using CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS.

For each of the catchable runtime errors, a predefined exception class is specified that can be used to handled the runtime error Normally, most exception classes of an exception group belong to a common superclass. This superclass is specified in parentheses below the exception group.

The associated ABAP keywords are specified for each exception group. Only those keywords associated with a specific exception group can be used to catch the runtime errors in this exception group using the obsolete statement CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS.

Exception group: ARITHMETIC_ERRORS

(Associated superclass: CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_ERROR)

This group contains exceptions that can be raised by arithmetic expressions. These include, for example, division by zero, overflows in fields, and errors in arithmetic and trigonometric functions.
Errors cannot be caught that occur during the conversion between data types in mixed arithmetical expressions

The following keywords are associated with this exception group:

MULTIPLY-CORRESPONDING

SUBTRACT

SUBTRACT-CORRESPONDING

Notes

The keyword COMPUTE is optional (and also obsolete). However, statements in category
n1 = arithexp
still belong to the keyword COMPUTE.

Statements of the category
COMPUTE n1 = n2.
are simply assignments without arithmetic function and are assigned to the keyword MOVE (in the context of catchable runtime errors). To avoid confusion, it is better to write the following in these cases:
n1 = n2.

Exception group: CONVERSION_ERRORS

(Associated superclass: CX_SY_CONVERSION_ERROR)

This group contains runtime errors that can occur during the conversion between data types. An explicit conversion can be made using MOVE, for example.
Implicit conversions are only caught in arithmetical expressions.

The following keywords are associated with this exception group:

MULTIPLY-CORRESPONDING

Note

Statements of category n2 = n1 are assigned to the obsolete keyword MOVE.
