Join condition syntax error (Urgent).

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

I am using the below statement in one of my programs. But it gives an syntax error as 'The literal is more than 255 characters'. It doesn't even allow me to do a pretty print. Can anyone help me please to solve this issue. This is urgent.

Select ce4_{PAPH1 ce4}MVGR2 ce3~VVBMC001

INTO corresponding fields of TABLE I_BRANDWISE

from CE4OPC1 as CE4

inner JOIN CE3OPC1 as CE3

ON CE4_{PAOBJNR = CE3}PAOBJNR

where CE4opc1-AKTBO = ‘X'

and CE4~BUKRS = ‘1000’

and CE4~KNDNR = P_SOLDTO

and CE4_{KOKRS = ‘CCA1’ AND CE3}PALEDGER = ‘01’

and CE3~PLIKZ = 0

and ( CE3_{VRGAR BETWEEN ‘B’ AND ‘C’ and CE3}PERBL BETWEEN P_STRPER AND P_ENDPER )

and CE4~MVGR2 IN S_BRAND.

Thanks in advance... Amit.

You have to check your ' ' in the conditions.

Also, check out that strings between ' ' does not go to a new line.

The syntax error you get is caused by a value preceeded by a ' and not closed by another '.

For example:

text = 'Hello World.   "This will cause the error because of the missing ' at the end

text = 'Hello World'.   "This is ok

Hope this helps,

Roby.

Hi,

try not keeping this statement in a single whole line.

CE3~VRGAR BETWEEN ‘B’ AND ‘C’ and CE3~PERBL BETWEEN P_STRPER AND P_ENDPER

keep it as

CE3~VRGAR BETWEEN ‘B’

AND ‘C’

and CE3~PERBL BETWEEN P_STRPER

AND P_ENDPER

Also, make sure your quotes are actually quotes, if that makes sense. Sometimes if you copy things into the ABAP editor from MS Word, email, etc. then the editor doesn't like the font. It may look like a quote, but delete it and type it back in.

Try:

SELECT ce4~paph1 ce4~mvgr2 ce3~vvbmc001
  INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE i_brandwise
  FROM ce4opc1 AS ce4
  INNER JOIN ce3opc1 AS ce3
    ON ce4~paobjnr = ce3~paobjnr
  WHERE ce4~aktbo = 'X'
    AND ce4~bukrs = '1000'
    AND ce4~kndnr = p_soldto
    AND ce4~kokrs = 'CCA1'
    AND ce3~paledger = '01'
    AND ce3~plikz = 0
    AND ( ce3~vrgar BETWEEN 'B' AND 'C'
    AND   ce3~perbl BETWEEN p_strper AND p_endper )
    AND ce4~mvgr2 IN s_brand.
