How do I convert an SAP MDG message structure into readable text?
Use function module FORMAT_MESSAGE with the MDG message fields MSGID, MSGNO, MSGV1, MSGV2, MSGV3, and MSGV4 to get the rendered text into a BAPI message variable.
Use function module FORMAT_MESSAGE with the MDG message fields MSGID, MSGNO, MSGV1, MSGV2, MSGV3, and MSGV4 to get the rendered text into a BAPI message variable.
Use FORMAT_MESSAGE and pass the message components from USMD_S_MESSAGE: MSGID, MSGNO, MSGV1, MSGV2, MSGV3, and MSGV4. The returned value is the rendered text, typically stored in a BAPI message-type variable.
Process flow
- Declare a target variable such as `lv_message_text TYPE bapi_msg`.
- Read the MDG message from `
USMD_S_MESSAGE` into `ls_message`. - Call `FORMAT_MESSAGE` with `msgid`, `msgno`, and `msgv1` to `msgv4`.
- Use `sy-langu` or another language key for text rendering.
- Store the returned text from importing parameter `msg` into your variable.
- If processing a message table, format each message inside a loop before further logic.

Source-supported pattern using FORMAT_MESSAGE for a single USMD_S_MESSAGE structure.
1DATA lv_message_text TYPE bapi_msg.

3CALL FUNCTION 'FORMAT_MESSAGE'
4 EXPORTING
5 id = CONV symsgid( ls_message-msgid ) lang = sy-langu
6 no = CONV symsgno( ls_message-msgno )
7 v1 = CONV symsgv( ls_message-msgv1 )
8 v2 = CONV symsgv( ls_message-msgv2 )
9 v3 = CONV symsgv( ls_message-msgv3 )
10 v4 = CONV symsgv( ls_message-msgv4 )
11 IMPORTING msg = lv_message_text
