How to handle the “RFC error: An exception has occurred that was not caught” when using HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION

Introduction:

This Blog is about to explain that how to handle the “RFC error: An exception has occurred that was not caught” when using FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION.

As per our requirement, user will enter the data in FIORI APPLICATION and when the user submits the data then our ODATA service will call. In ODATA Service method we have used FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION for updating the data in Info type. But here we are getting an error sometimes and sometimes without getting an error it is working.

By overcoming to stop that error, we found by calling the subroutine “PERFORM do_nothing(sapfp50p).“ at LOAD-OF-PROGRAM Event in a Report then we can handle this error to disappear.

But this sub routine can be used only in a reports. So, first we wrote a “Z” Program for our functionality and called this Z Program in our ODATA Service Method at a required place.

Note – below is the sample code for your reference and you can change it as per our requirement.

REPORT zxx_xx NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.

LOAD-OF-PROGRAM.
**__ To avoid the Dump
  PERFORM do_nothing(sapfp50p).

START-OF-SELECTION.
  PERFORM infotype_operations.

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*&      Form  INFOTYPE_OPERATIONS
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
FORM infotype_operations.

Data: ls_p2003  TYPE p2003,
      ls_return TYPE bapireturn1,
      ls_key    TYPE bapipakey.

    ls_p2003-subty = '03'.
    ls_p2003-vtart = '03'.
    ls_p2003-otype = 'S'.
    ls_p2003-infty = '2003'.
    ls_p2003-seqnr = '000'.
    ls_p2003-plans = '30000009'.

**__extra pay ID
    ls_p2003-aufkz = '+'.

  CALL FUNCTION 'HR_INITIALIZE_BUFFER'
    EXPORTING
      tclas = 'A'
      pernr = ls_p2003-pernr.

**__ Lock the  Employee
  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE'
    EXPORTING
      number = ls_p2003-pernr
    IMPORTING
      return = ls_return.

**__ Infotype Operation
  CALL FUNCTION 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION'
    EXPORTING
      infty         = '2003'
      number        = ls_p2003-pernr
      subtype       = ls_p2003-subty
      validityend   = ls_p2003-begda
      validitybegin = ls_p2003-endda
      record        = ls_p2003
      operation     = 'INS'
    IMPORTING
      return        = ls_return
      key           = ls_key.

**__ Dequeue Employee
  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_EMPLOYEE_DEQUEUE'
    EXPORTING
      number = ls_p2003-pernr
    IMPORTING
      return = ls_return.

**__ Initialize Buffer
  CALL FUNCTION 'HR_PSBUFFER_INITIALIZE'.

ENDFORM infotype_operations.

Above Z report is called using SUBMIT syntax with needed input parameters in our ODATA service method.

Note – here is the sample syntax for calling the report, you can add the needed parameters accordingly.

**__ Report to do operations on Info type 2003
          SUBMIT zxx_xx   WITH p_xx    EQ lv_xx
                          WITH p_xx    EQ lv_xx
                          EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
                                        AND RETURN.
