  The SAP error message ACI_COMPILER_GENERIC070 indicates that there is a syntax error in your ABAP code, specifically that the compiler expected an "end statement" but found something else. The message typically follows this format:
  
  Expected: The statement that the compiler was expecting (denoted as '&1').
  Found: The statement that was actually found (denoted as '&2').
  
  Cause
  This error usually occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing End Statement: You may have forgotten to include an END statement for a control structure (like IF, CASE, LOOP, etc.).
  Mismatched Statements: There might be a mismatch between the opening and closing statements. For example, you might have an IF statement without a corresponding ENDIF.
  Incorrect Syntax: There could be a syntax error in the code that leads the compiler to misinterpret the structure of your code.
  Commented Code: Sometimes, if you have commented out parts of your code incorrectly, it can lead to confusion in the compiler.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Code Structure: Review the code around the line where the error occurs. Ensure that all control structures have their corresponding end statements.
  
  For example, if you have an IF statement, make sure there is an ENDIF.
  If you have a LOOP, ensure there is an ENDLOOP.
  
  
  
  Look for Typos: Check for any typos or syntax errors in your code that might cause the compiler to misinterpret the structure.
  
  
  Use the ABAP Editor: Utilize the ABAP editor's syntax check feature (by pressing Ctrl + F2 or using the menu option) to identify the exact location of the error.
  
  
  Commenting: If you have commented out code, ensure that the comments are correctly formatted and do not interfere with the code structure.
  
  
  Review Nested Structures: If you have nested control structures, ensure that each nested structure is properly closed.
