Can you find the syntax error in this code?

Hi all, I have the following code but it is giving me a syntax error which says "The text literal "'. " is longer than 255 characters. Check whether it ends correctly."

case vbdkl-vkorg
when '0010' or 0011' or '0020' or '0030' or '0040' or '0060' or '0065'.
w_include = 'tvko-txnam_kop'.
when '0021'.
w_include = 'zadrs_hdr_ver_weatherbond'.
when '0012'.
perform get_bzirk
	using vbdkl-kunnr
		vbdkl-vkorg
		kna1-telf1
		kna1-telfx
	changing w_bzirk
		w_prt_phone
if w_bzirk = 'CARLSH'
	w_include = 'tvko-txnam_kop'.
else
	w_include = 'NAME1'.
endif.
when '0050'.
perform get_bzirk
	using vbdkl-kunnr
		vbdkl-vkorg
		kna1-telf1
		kna1-telfx
	changing w_bzirk
		w_prt_phone
if w_bzirk = 'CCWSH'
	w_include = 'tvko-txnam_kop'.
else
	w_include = 'NAME1'.
endif.
when others.
w_include = 'tvko-txnam_kop'.
endcase.

ur missing a quote here


when '0010' or <b>(')</b>0011' or '0020' or '0030' or '0040' or '0060' or '0065'.

It means a ' is missing, but probably a point is missing:

<b>case vbdkl-vkorg <----

ERROR</b>

when '0010' or 0011' or '0020' or '0030' or '0040' or '0060' or '0065'.

<b>case vbdkl-vkorg.<----

ok</b>

when '0010' or 0011' or '0020' or '0030' or '0040' or '0060' or '0065'.

Hi Davis,

Have you pasted code as it is, if yes then you are missing lots of dots '.'

case vbdkl-vkorg.

when '0010' or '0011' or '0020' or '0030' or '0040' or '0060' or '0065'.

w_include = 'tvko-txnam_kop'.

when '0021'.

w_include = 'zadrs_hdr_ver_weatherbond'.

when '0012'.

perform get_bzirk

using vbdkl-kunnr

vbdkl-vkorg

kna1-telf1

kna1-telfx

changing w_bzirk

w_prt_phone.

if w_bzirk = 'CARLSH'.

w_include = 'tvko-txnam_kop'.

else.

w_include = 'NAME1'.

endif.

when '0050'.

perform get_bzirk

using vbdkl-kunnr

vbdkl-vkorg

kna1-telf1

kna1-telfx

changing w_bzirk

w_prt_phone.

if w_bzirk = 'CCWSH'.

w_include = 'tvko-txnam_kop'.

else.

w_include = 'NAME1'.

endif.

when others.

w_include = 'tvko-txnam_kop'.

endcase.

Try this code.

You are missing '.' in your code.

if w_bzirk = 'CARLSH'

if w_bzirk = 'CCWSH'

and after your perform get_bzirk

Basavaraj and everybody else,

Thank you very much! I spent a few minutes on that and couldn't find it; I assumed I was missing a quote somewhere.

Atish,

Thanks a lot. I didn't realize that I wrote the code as sloppy as I did.

Hi,

You missed out a single inverted comma at line number two for 0011.

Whenever you miss a single inverted comma, ABAP will treat all the lines following after the line as the part of that string.

Since, a text-literal can be of maximum size 255, therefore it displays the error "literals that take up more than one lines are not permitted".

Does that solve your problem.

Reward points if helpful.

Best Regards,

Saurabh.

Hi Davis,

If you have pated the code as it is you have missed out single quotes' and full stop (.) in many places in the code.
