Syntax error

[former_member656987]

Hi Experts,

I'm getting below syntax error while saving the program. Kindly share your inputs.

Error : "if the new open SQL syntax is used, it must be used throughout. This includes @ to escape host variables.

Getting error in line "INTO TABLE IT_mseg".

tables : bkpf , acdoca , mseg.

types : begin of ty_mseg,
          bukrs type bkpf-bukrs,
          belnr type bkpf-belnr,
          mblnr type mseg-mblnr,
          blart type bkpf-blart,
          hsl   type  acdoca-hsl,
        end of ty_mseg.

data : it_mseg type table of ty_mseg,
       wa_mseg type ty_mseg.

select-options :  s_bukrs for bkpf-bukrs,
                  s_gjahr for bkpf-gjahr,
                 s_blart for bkpf-blart.

start-of-selection.

  select  bkpf~bukrs , acdoca~belnr , mseg~mblnr , bkpf~blart , acdoca~hsl
          from bkpf inner join acdoca
          on bkpf~belnr = acdoca~belnr
          inner join mseg
          on bkpf~xblnr = mseg~mblnr
          INTO TABLE IT_mseg
          where bkpf-bukrs in s_bukrs
          and  bkpf-gjahr in s_gjahr
          and  bkpf-blart in s_blart.

  loop at : it_mseg into wa_mseg.

    write : / wa_mseg-bukrs , wa_mseg-belnr , wa_mseg-mblnr , wa_mseg-blart , wa_mseg-hsl.
  endloop.

Can you correct it to

where bkpf~bukrs in s_bukrs

and bkpf~gjahr in s_gjahr

and bkpf~blart in s_blart.

Thanks.

I say like Subhajit and concerning Error : "if the new open SQL syntax is used, it must be used throughout. This includes @ to escape host variables. Getting error in line "INTO TABLE IT_mseg".

This is due to using commas between column names.

Solution (NB: INTO must be at the end):

where bkpf~bukrs in @s_bukrs
  and bkpf~gjahr in @s_gjahr
  and bkpf~blart in @s_blart
INTO TABLE @IT_mseg

Just to escape the variables will fix the error. The INTO position has no effect here (I always put my INTO after the SELECT because I'm used to it).

[Sandra_Rossi]

vicen.lozano Oh, you're right for the INTO. Sometimes the syntax checker requires to place it at the end, not here (I should learn what the exact positioning rules are :-p).

[VXLozano]

Yup... I remembered it because sometimes the checker asks me to do that, and then I become upset XD

[former_member656987]

It worked. Thanks.

You're lucky Sandra came here fast. The next time, just read the error message, it's clear enough.
