While doing call transaction, if an error occurs in updation, we declare bdcmsgcoll and store our messages in it, but how to retreive error message from it

Using function module 'FORMAT_MESSAGE' you can capture the messages.

Here is a sample of the program code for that:

  LOOP AT it_messtab.
  CALL FUNCTION 'FORMAT_MESSAGE'
    EXPORTING
      id     = it_messtab-msgid
      lang   = it_messtab-msgspra
      no     = it_messtab-msgnr
      v1     = it_messtab-msgv1
      v2     = it_messtab-msgv2
    IMPORTING
    msg    =  g_msg
  EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS = 0.
  IF it_messtab-msgtyp = 'S'.
    it_sucess-sucess_rec = g_msg.
    it_sucess-lifnr = it_header-lifnr." Based on your field
    it_sucess-tabix = v_lines.
    APPEND it_sucess.
  ELSEIF it_messtab-msgtyp = 'E'.
    it_error-error_rec = g_msg.
    it_error-lifnr = it_header-lifnr.
    it_error-tabix = v_lines.
    APPEND it_error.
  ELSE.
    it_info-info_rec = g_msg.
    it_info-lifnr    = it_header-lifnr.
    it_info-tabix    = v_lines.
    APPEND it_info.
  ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
