Hi Kevin,

I had the same strange error in my coding

Method xxx.

(...)

DATA L_variable(80) TYPE C value 'blablabla'.

(...)

ENDMETHOD.

I also don't know the reason for this error, but after deleting the line, copying another (working) data decleration and modifying, it worked!

Best Regards,

Andreas

Hi Kevin,

You cannot write a string in you coding that over several lines.

Here you got the problem:

WITH '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><asx:abap xmlns
:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0"><asx:values>'.

If you cannot write this text on one single line, you should use CONCATENATE to create a longer text into a variable and then use this variable. Something like this:

data: var1 type string.

CONCATENATE '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><asx:abap xmlns'
                         ':asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0"><asx:values>'
INTO var1.
...
WITH var.

hope this helps you go further.
