• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACI_COMPILER_GENERIC132 - Non-completed literal ?

  The SAP error message ACI_COMPILER_GENERIC132 with the description "Non-completed literal" typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming when there is an issue with string literals in your code. This error indicates that a string literal is not properly closed or is incomplete, which can lead to syntax errors during the compilation of the ABAP program.
  Cause:
  
  
  Unclosed String Literal: A string literal (enclosed in single quotes) is not properly closed. For example:
  DATA(lv_string) = 'This is a string.
  In this case, the string is not closed with a single quote.
  
  
  Improper Use of Escape Characters: If you are using escape characters incorrectly within a string, it may lead to confusion in the compiler.
  
  
  Concatenation Issues: If you are concatenating strings and one of the parts is not properly defined, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Multiline Strings: If you are trying to define a multiline string without using the correct syntax, it can also trigger this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Unclosed Literals: Review your code for any string literals that are not properly closed. Ensure that every opening single quote has a corresponding closing single quote.
  
  
  Correct Escape Sequences: If you are using escape sequences (like \' for a single quote), ensure they are used correctly.
  
  
  Use Concatenation Properly: If you are concatenating strings, ensure that all parts of the concatenation are correctly defined and closed.
  
  
  Use Multiline String Syntax: If you need to define a multiline string, consider using the CONCATENATE statement or the | operator for inline declarations in newer ABAP versions.
  Example of using CONCATENATE:
  DATA(lv_string) = 'This is a string part 1' && ' and this is part 2'.
  
  
  Check for Comments: Ensure that comments in your code are not interfering with string literals. Sometimes, a comment can inadvertently cause a string to appear unclosed.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP ABAP documentation for more details on string handling and syntax rules.
  SAP Community: You can search for similar issues on the SAP Community forums, where other developers may have encountered and resolved similar errors.
  Debugging Tools: Use the ABAP editor's syntax check feature to identify and correct syntax errors before executing the program.
  
  By carefully reviewing your code and ensuring that all string literals are properly defined, you should be able to resolve the ACI_COMPILER_GENERIC132 error.
