When checking SLIN, its displaying error as

<b>Messages:

hi,

Try by replacing ' like' with ' type '.

Thanks,

Doesnt seem like the error is for the declaration.

Still you can try to change LIKE to TYPE.

dbrtg TYPE knkk-dbrtg.

Also, pls. check if you have defined any field starting with a number instead of character.

Hi Suresh,

There is no declaration error in this statement.

You check other statement written above & below this statement.

some times slin doesn't pointout errors onto specific statement.

I think you are specifying sone ID with a numeric digit in place of a letter.

Check it.

Try it with 'TYPE' inplace of 'LIKE' also.

Hemant

Suresh,

You execute the SLIN once more time - U ll find <b>somewhere u have declared a variable whose name starts with a numeric instead of character</b>.

1matnr is not allowed - it will give error in SLIN ... but MATNR1 is OK.

may be u were modifying codes while executing SLIN - thats why u ended up on an incorrect line.
