Pretty Printer

I am suddenly getting the following message when trying to

format my code in the ABAP workbench:

Check your source text from line 1087.

Formatting probably contains errors.

Possible causes: syntax errors or macros in source text.

I have no macros and the syntax check passes.

What could be preventing pretty printer from working?

hi Gregory,

syntax check really does not retunr any error/warning? I have this kind of error, when IFs or CASEs are not closed. Other option could be that you have text literals more than one line.

Hi,

I had a similar problem once that was caused by 'unusual' characters at the end of some of the lines of code. These were only visible when I switch to the old-style back-end editor, where they appeared #.

I suspected the code had been pasted from somewhere and brought over this characters. Once deleted the PP worked fine.

Regards,

Nick
