Error occured when using default modifier in CDS

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

when I created a simple CDS document with default modifier  in HANA SP6, I always got failure.

The error message say "Unexpected token"default" at line x,column x".

My CDS document is below.

namespace Hello_XS.db;
@Schema: 'DEMO'
context modifiers {
    entity table1
    {
        key field1 : String(10);
        field2 : String(10) default "dummy";
    };
};

when I activated,I got the below error.

would you please kindly let me know how to solve it? thanks in advance.

Sorry, there is a bug in the developer guide on page 183, it says to use " and you need to use '. Hopefully or Former Member will get it fixed.

The code below activates successfully.

context test2 {

    entity table1 

    { 

        key field1 : String(10); 

        field2 : String(10) default 'dummy';

    }; 

};
