I think the apostrophe symbol ' was copied incorrectly. --> write ‘Hello World!’.

Try replacing it with teh apostroph symbol of your keyboard. I think it will work.

Thanks, Roxani

ABAP words are case-insensitive.

" This statement works, because it uses the correct literal
write 'Hello World!'.


" This is your statement, which doesnt work, because it is the wrong literal
" If you look closely, you see the difference between 'correct' and ‘wrong‘
" And the code tool for ABAP coding displays it correctly as well, showing that the above is recognized as a text whereas in the second it is not
write ‘Hello World!’.
