Hi all,

I am working on upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 6.0

I have found one syntax error in ECC..

DATA: CHAR132(132) TYPE C VALUE '----

<b>Literals that take up more than one line not permitted in above statement.</b>

How can I rectify this.

Thanks

Shiva.

ur literal value should not exceed one line.

DATA: CHAR132(132) TYPE C VALUE '123456789087543222222<b> ' .</b>

end the declaration in one line.

If u want to give long value use string data type.

Hi,

Use concatenate statement.

DATA: CHAR132(132) TYPE C.

concatenate '----

'----

into char132.

write char132.

declare data : char132(132) type c value '-'.

because you cannot have spaces in between ''.

Hi,

This is not permitted.

So u can declare two more char type and concatenate teh same into one char type.

Else use text-elements and concatenate teh same.

DATA: CHAR132(132) TYPE C 
text-001 - '----------------------------------------'
text-002 - '-----------------------------------------'

Concatenate text-001 text-002 INTO char132.

Reward points and close teh thread if ur problem got solved.
