CATSERROR SAP (Error Messages) Structure details
Description: Error Messages
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
CATSERROR is a standard SAP Structure so does not store data like a database table does. It can be used to define the fields of other actual tables or to process "Error Messages" Information within sap ABAP programs.
This is done by declaring abap internal tables, work areas or database tables based on this Structure. These can then be used to store and process the required data appropriately.
i.e. DATA: wa_CATSERROR TYPE CATSERROR.
The CATSERROR table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Error Messages data available in SAP. These include STOKZ (Indicator: Document Has Been Reversed), TYPE (Message type: S Success, E Error, W Warning, I Info, A Abort), ID (Message Class), NUMBER (Message Number).. See below for full list along with technical details, documentation, text table, check tables, foreign key relationships, conversion routines, relevant tcodes and example ABAP select code etc. .
