Testing the Number Range Object: We can use the function module, NUMBER_GET_NEXT, to get the next number of any n umber range object. Following is a test program to get the next available number of the object creat ed above: REPORT zsnro_test. DATA: NUMBER TYPE I. CALL FUNCTION 'NUMBER_GET_NEXT' EXPORTING nr_range_nr = '01' object = 'ZDEMO' IMPORTING NUMBER = NUMBER EXCEPTIONS INTERVAL_NOT_FOUND = 1 NUMBER_RANGE_NOT_INTERN = 2

OBJECT_NOT_FOUND = 3 QUANTITY_IS_0 = 4 QUANTITY_IS_NOT_1 = 5 INTERVAL_OVERFLOW = 6 BUFFER_OVERFLOW = 7 OTHERS = 8 . IF sy-subrc <> 0. MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4. ENDIF. Write :/ 'Next available number is: ', Number.
