In order to display BAPIRET2 table messages when checking or saving a transaction, I recommend using this C14Z_MESSAGES_SHOW_AS_POPUP

" Types for messages: PopUp Table
  TYPES: BEGIN OF esp1_message_wa_type,
           msgid  LIKE sy-msgid,
           msgty  LIKE sy-msgty,
           msgno  LIKE sy-msgno,
           msgv1  LIKE sy-msgv1,
           msgv2  LIKE sy-msgv2,
           msgv3  LIKE sy-msgv3,
           msgv4  LIKE sy-msgv4,
           lineno LIKE mesg-zeile,
         END OF esp1_message_wa_type.

  DATA: lt_message_popup TYPE TABLE OF esp1_message_wa_type.
  DATA: lt_bapiret_tab   TYPE TABLE OF bapiret2. " BAPIRETTAB
  
  FIELD-SYMBOLS:  like LINE OF lt_bapiret_tab. 
  FIELD-SYMBOLS:  like LINE OF lt_message_popup.
  
  " Fill lt_bapiret_tab with Transaction return 
  
  " Prepare Table for PopUP
  LOOP AT lt_bapiret_tab ASSIGNING 
     WHERE type is NOT INITIAL. " avoid dumb for none relevant message

    APPEND INITIAL LINE TO lt_message_popup ASSIGNING .
    -msgty = -type .
    -msgid = -id .
    -msgno = -number .
    -msgv1 = -message_v1 .
    -msgv2 = -message_v2 .
    -msgv3 = -message_v3 .
    -msgv4 = -message_v4 .
    -lineno = sy-tabix.

  ENDLOOP.
  
  " Call the PopUp Table
  IF NOT lt_message_popup[] IS INITIAL.
    CALL FUNCTION 'C14Z_MESSAGES_SHOW_AS_POPUP'
      TABLES
        i_message_tab = lt_message_popup[].
  ENDIF.

Display SLG1 log Like PopUp in ABAP

To Display a SLG1 log in a Popup in ABAP used the standard function OXT_MESSAGE_TO_POPUP

When digging into OXT_MESSAGE_TO_POPUP, the core is based on the other more commun function BAL_DSP_LOG_DISPLAY used in displaying log.

The input for OXT_MESSAGE_TO_POPUP is a table typed BAPIRETTAB.
