The RFC interface defines two additional exception types:
SYSTEM_FAILURE
This exception reports all failures and system problems on the remote machine.
COMMUNICATION_FAILURE
This exception is raised when a connection or communications failure occurs. It does not report system problems (for example, abnormal termination) that occur on the remote machine.
Requesting Error Messages
In the function modules that you call, you should use exceptions for any error reporting, and not the MESSAGE keyword.
CALL FUNCTION Remotefunction
DESTINATION Dest
EXPORTING...
IMPORTING...
TABLES...
EXCEPTIONS
SYSTEM_FAILURE = 1 MESSAGE msg
COMMUNICATION_FAILURE = 2 MESSAGE msg
The system sets the message variable ( msg) to the system message. You can then display the message or log it in a file. You should not try to interpret message text in your program.
Note
You can use MESSAGE only with the two system exceptions described here.
