• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 37064 - Specify loop block end line without continuation lines ?

  The SAP error message 37064, "Specify loop block end line without continuation lines," typically occurs in ABAP programming when there is an issue with the structure of a loop block in your code. This error indicates that the ABAP compiler has detected a loop block that is not properly terminated or has continuation lines that are not correctly formatted.
  Cause:
  
  Improper Loop Block Structure: The loop block may not have a proper ending statement, or there may be continuation lines that are not correctly defined.
  Syntax Errors: There could be syntax errors in the loop structure, such as missing ENDLOOP statements or incorrect indentation.
  Continuation Lines: If you are using continuation lines (for example, when a statement is too long and is split across multiple lines), they may not be formatted correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Loop Structure: Ensure that every LOOP statement has a corresponding ENDLOOP statement. The structure should look like this:
  LOOP AT itab INTO wa.
    " Your processing logic here
  ENDLOOP.
  
  
  Review Continuation Lines: If you are using continuation lines, make sure they are correctly formatted. In ABAP, a continuation line should start with a space in the first column. For example:
  DATA: lv_long_variable TYPE string.
  lv_long_variable = 'This is a very long string that needs to be continued' &&
                    ' on the next line.'.
  
  
  Indentation and Formatting: Ensure that your code is properly indented and formatted. This can help in visually identifying any missing or misplaced statements.
  
  
  Use the ABAP Editor: Utilize the ABAP editor's syntax check feature (by pressing Ctrl + F2) to identify and correct any syntax errors in your code.
  
  
  Debugging: If the error persists, consider debugging the code to see the exact line where the error occurs. This can provide more context on what might be causing the issue.
