Hello,

Replace ',' with '.' after the statement DATA : OK_CODE TYPE SY-UCOMM.

Data is used to declare variables and TYPES is used to declare independent types, so once your DATA statement ends put a '.'

In your code you have a comma(,) after it. Replace the comma with period and the error will be rectified.

There is a minor syntax error .

DATA : OK_CODE TYPE SY-UCOMM.

This staement should be ended with a '.' not with a comma.

This is a consequences when full stop is replaced by comma.

Don't do it next time.

just to add to all these answers..

'.' (Dot) acts as end of statement in ABAP as ';' works for C..

and ':'(colon) is used for pipeline or chaining more than one statement.. and chained statements are joined using ','(comma)

so

left side : right side1,
             right side2,
             right side3.

"this actually means..
left side right side1. " ends here
left side right side2. " ends here
left side right side3. " ends here

hope you understand now... its BASIC abap...
