SAP Script 'Parameter expected' Error

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am working on a script and in the text element i am using an if statement which spans over 2 lines as below:

/:    IF &lv_var1& EQ 'a' OR &lv_var2& EQ 'b' OR

      &lv_var3& EQ 'c' OR &lv_var4& EQ 'd'.

On syntax check, I am getting the error : Parameter expected in between the 2 lines.

So, what could be the possible reason for the above error.

Regards,

Hi Tanushree,

You should write in both lines in the sapscript '/: ' like this:

/:    IF &lv_var1& EQ 'a' OR &lv_var2& EQ 'b' OR

/:          &lv_var3& EQ 'c' OR &lv_var4& EQ 'd'.

Try this

It too gives the same error.

Hi

Probably you need to write the whole IF condition in only one command line:

/: IF &lv_var1& EQ 'a' OR &lv_var2& EQ 'b' OR &lv_var3& EQ 'c' ....

Hi Tanushree,

Have you tried in the same line using left/right page (click right mouse button)?

Or try, for example, with a paragraph Z1, we use the '=' in the second line:

Z1 &var1&,,&var2&,,...

=   &var3&

But don´t know if it works with a command line...

As said in the documentation: "The entire control statement must fit into one line; spreading it over subsequent lines is not allowed"

Use Graphical Editor (Setting->Form Painter->(Sapscript Tab)->Tick Graphical PC Editor.

Inside the window, Click Insert Command in Tool Bar then insert your condition as 1 line in Command Option.
