• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C1059 - Select the end of the block ?

  The SAP error message C1059, "Select the end of the block," typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming, particularly when working with block structures in your code. This error indicates that the ABAP compiler expects a closing statement for a block that has been opened but not properly closed.
  Cause:
  
  Missing END statement: The most common cause is that you have opened a block (like a LOOP, IF, CASE, etc.) but have not provided the corresponding END statement.
  Nested Blocks: If you have nested blocks, it’s possible that you have missed closing one of the inner blocks.
  Syntax Errors: There may be other syntax errors in your code that are causing the parser to misinterpret the structure of your blocks.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Missing END Statements: Review your code to ensure that every block you open has a corresponding END statement. For example:
  
  For LOOP AT ... ENDLOOP
  For IF ... ENDIF
  For CASE ... ENDCASE
  
  
  
  Indentation and Formatting: Properly indent your code to visually represent the structure of your blocks. This can help you easily identify where a block might not be closed.
  
  
  Review Nested Structures: If you have nested blocks, ensure that each inner block is properly closed before closing the outer block.
  
  
  Use the ABAP Editor: The ABAP editor in SAP provides syntax highlighting and error checking. Use it to identify where the error might be occurring.
  
  
  Check for Comments: Sometimes, comments can interfere with the parsing of the code. Ensure that comments are properly formatted and not interrupting the flow of your code.
