Strange problem in ABAP

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We are facing a strange problem in simple abap program.

Following is the program .

PROGRAM DEMO_ELEMENTARY_DATA_OBJECTS.

DATA NCK1(40) type c .

NCK1 = ‘THE’.

WRITE NCK1.

When we try to check the program system throws error message stating

"Program ZNTEST Field "‘THE’" is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement."

Please let us know the cause of the problem.

Thank you.

Hi Nimesh,

I think there is some special character coming for some reason. Delete the line NCK1 = 'THE' and re-write the same code and then try to activate.

I've done it on my system and its working.

Hi Nimesh,

Please copy your code into a notpad file and check it. The single quote used in 'the' will look diffrent. Change it in the note pad and copy the code into your ABAP editor. This will sovle your problem. We are also facing the same problem from few days.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Nimesh,

i have copy your code and it looks like this:

PROGRAM DEMO_ELEMENTARY_DATA_OBJECTS.

DATA NCK1(40) type c .

NCK1 = ‘THE’.

WRITE NCK1.

Line 3 is a Mistake, it should be:

NCK1 = 'THE'. (sign ' obove the #).

Hope i can help you.

Hi nimesh,

1. ‘THE’.

is creating the problem.

2. <b>The QUOTES are incorrect.</b>

3. It should be (')

(the key on the left of ENTER key)

Hi,

it is because of the quote you are using.

now check this..

'THE' is different than you code.

PROGRAM DEMO_ELEMENTARY_DATA_OBJECTS.

DATA NCK1(40) type c.

NCK1 = 'THE'.

WRITE NCK1.
