Maintaining Messages
Messages allow you to communicate with users from your programs. They are mainly used when the user has made an invalid entry on a screen.
To send messages from a program, you must link it to a message class. Each message class has an ID, and usually contains a whole set of message. Each message has a single line of text, and may contain placeholders for variables.
All messages are stored in table T100. You create and edit them using Transaction SE91. Once you have created a message, you can use it in the MESSAGE statement in a program.
For further information about messages, see the
messages section of the ABAP Programming Guide.
Starting the Message Maintenance Transaction
If you choose Goto
® Messages from the ABAP Editor and your program does not have a defined message class, the system assumes you want to browse an existing class and prompts you for a message class ID.See also
