Error in logical expression: Instead if "", a field, a function, or "(" was expected.

Hi,

I facing syntax problem in ABAP.

For the line: "if sy-subrc <>." I get the Error-Message, as mentioned in the title.

Could you help me?

(BTW: The Code is working, if take a "do 18 times"-loop and comment out the if-block.)

field-symbols: <fs>.
loop at gt_output into data(gs_output).

do.
   assign component sy-index of structure gs_output to <fs>.
if sy-subrc <>.
   exit.
  endif.
Write:/ <fs>.

enddo.
endloop.

Hello brenm1989

You're missing the value part of the IF SY-SUBRC <> condition. It should be like this:

do.
  assign component sy-index of structure gs_output to <fs>.
  if sy-subrc <> 0. " <-- added zero
    exit.
  endif.

  Write:/ <fs>.
enddo.

Kind regards,
Mateusz

Hi,

If condition is not completed. sy-subrc is not compared with any parameter
