Hi Guru's,

I'm facing this error when i'm writing this routine in BW.

error: :Literals that take up more than one line are not permitted

I wanna extend my statement to second line .How can i do this.

Vijay.

Seems like your literal is really long. You would need to do something like this using the & sign.

v_value = 'adfa;skdfja;soidfjpoweirpqoiwfjpaoisfrpoiqwueproiquwepfio' &
              'apowierpoaisdfpaoisdpqweiorupoijxiocvpsioxuvpiouxpciov'.

You can extend statements across several lines, but not literals (text included in '...'). I think the old 72 character limitation is passé, can't you just write your literal in one line?
