Hi,

once the quotes is opened it has to be closed in the same line. If the length is not enough split and concatenate

DATA: HEADER1(255) TYPE C VALUE ' ........1........2........3........4........5........6....+....7',
DATA: HEADER2(255) TYPE C VALUE ' ......8........9........0........1........2........3....+....4....',
DATA: HEADER3(255) TYPE C VALUE ' ....5........6........7........8........9........0........1.....',
DATA: HEADER4(255) TYPE C VALUE ' ...2........3........4....+....5....'.

data: header(255) type c.

concatenate header1 header2 header3 header4 into header.

hi,

If any of the quotes is missing, you get such an error. In your case they are not closed in one line.

Put them all on one line.

Go to the end of line ....5........6........7........8........9........0........1..... and press DELETE

Go to the end of line ......8........9........0........1........2........3....+....4.... and press DELETE

Go to the end of line ........1........2........3........4........5........6....+....7.. and press DELETE

Go to the end of line DATA: HEADER(255) TYPE C VALUE ' and press DELETE.

Then syntax check.
