Error while activating: Syntax error: Unexpected token

[Former Member]

Hello guys

I am a newbie in using HANA Web-based Development toolkit.  I am following the tutorial of http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9063f922-81e2-3110-c9b9-b4b0c1199...

and in page 25, I met an error.

I am sure that I copy the same code as it is depicted in the tutorial. the file is saved but not activated, hence the schema '_SYS_BIC' could not be created.

could you please provide any insight into this issue。

Hi every body,

I have the same problem :

Error while activating:

Syntax error: Unexpected token " "

Hello Marouene,

It sounds a weird advice, but keep your statement on one unique line.

I observed that when the statement is broken into multiple lines, this error (Syntax error: Unexpected token " ")  occurs at activation.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for replying, I have tried in the same line, but still the same problem.

I had the same error and putting it on one line didn't work but this worked for me:

namespace mycompany.myapp1; 

@Schema : 'MYSCHEMA'

@Catalog.tableType: #COLUMN

@Catalog.index: [ { name : 'MYINDEX1', unique : true, order : #DESC, elementNames : ['ISBN'] }  ] 

entity BOOK {key Author    : String(100);key BookTitle : String(100);ISBN      : Integer not null;Publisher : String(100);

};

The line beginning entity along with all the field definitions are on one line.
