I'm not sure that's entirely accurate anymore. ABAP was adjusted some time
ago to return EXPORTING, TABLES and CHANGING parameters in FMs or
ABAP Class Methods <strong><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>even</span></strong>
if you raise an exception.<br>
<br>
We have several examples of where an Exception is thrown and we can still trust
the value of an Exporting 'Error' flag or Application Log instance as
well.<br>
<br>
The flaw highlighted by Robert I think is buried in the way the value
being received is being bound (or not) into the Method container.<br>

Group,<br>
<br>
I have a task which uses a method of a class. This method has export
parameters and exceptions.<br>
Before the exception is raised, the export parameter is set.<br>
<br>
The problem is that, when the exception is raised, the export parameter is
empty. When I test the method from the class builder, the export parameter
contains a value but when I test the workflow, the workflow container is empty.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have an idea?<br>
