statement not highlighted new ABAP editor

[former_member202077]

Hello,

I have 3 statements in new ABAP editor

  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_xvbap> TYPE vbapvb.

  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_xvbap> TYPE ANY TABLE.

  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_xvbap> TYPE STANDARD TABLE of vbapvb.

Pls. let me know Why am not getting eclipse blue color on the 3rd/last statement on our SAP ECC 6.0 720 GUI as shown above?

Thank you

Hi,

If you use the ABAP Editor's check tool (Ctrl+F2) to check your syntax, it will indicate two problems:

1. You have assigned all three field symbols the same name.
2. The compiler won't accept TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF struc.
   • Use instead one of the following:
     • FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE table_type.
     • FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.

Cheers,

Amy

Thank you Amy.

1) Actually, just for example i gave these 3 statements, Sorry for confusion, actually, in my prog. i gave 3 different names for the 3 differnt FSs

2) Not sure, why am not getting syntax error on the 3rd statement bcz i put it on z_my_test_report and did CNTRL+F2 then no syntax error! hence i confused/posted question

Sure, i will follow your suggestion of

• FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
