  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5P215 - &: The comma is missing at the end of the BREAK or feature operation ?

    The SAP error message 5P215 indicates that there is a syntax error in your ABAP code or in the configuration of a report or program. Specifically, it points out that a comma is missing at the end of a BREAK statement or a feature operation. This is a common issue when defining breakpoints or when using certain features in ABAP programming.

    Cause:

    1. Syntax Error: The most common cause is a missing comma in the code. In ABAP, certain statements require commas to separate parameters or to indicate the end of a statement.
    2. Incorrect Formatting: If the code is not properly formatted, it can lead to confusion in the interpretation of the statements.
    3. Copy-Paste Issues: Sometimes, when code is copied from one place to another, formatting can be lost, leading to missing punctuation.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Code: Review the code where the error is occurring. Look for the BREAK statement or the feature operation that is mentioned in the error message.
    2. Add the Missing Comma: If you find that a comma is indeed missing, add it at the appropriate place in the code.
      • Example:
        BREAK-POINT.  " Ensure there is a comma if there are additional parameters
    3. Use the ABAP Editor: Utilize the ABAP editor's syntax check feature (usually available under the "Utilities" menu) to identify and correct syntax errors.
    4. Test the Changes: After making the corrections, re-run the program or report to ensure that the error has been resolved.

    Related Information:

    • ABAP Syntax: Familiarize yourself with the syntax rules of ABAP, especially regarding the use of commas in statements.
    • Debugging Tools: Use debugging tools available in SAP to step through the code and identify where the error occurs.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or community forums for additional examples and explanations regarding the BREAK statement and feature operations.
