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,

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

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.
