Handleable Exception
Exception that can be handled
in the program using the statements TRY - CATCH - ENDTRY without causing a
runtime error. Handleable exceptions are based on
exception classes and are realized by
exception objects. A handleable exception is raised either by the
ABAP runtime environment
or by the statement RAISE EXCEPTION
in a program, or by the addition THROW in a
conditional expression. Before the introduction of
class-based exceptions, handleable exceptions could be defined only in the interfaces of
function modules and
methods themselves and raised
using RAISE. Predefined handleable exceptions were raised as
catchable runtime errors (now obsolete).
