What causes this issue?

During the syntax check, the system found errors in your entries
Bear in mind that you should not use hyphens ('-') in keys
(characteristic, class, table and function names).
In addition, the system does not always recognize changes to master
data that are made parallel to maintenance of object-dependencies. This
is due to data buffers.

System Response

The cursor marks the errors. If necessary, the system lists several
detailed causes of errors for selection.

How to fix this error?

Check your entries and correct the error. The following options are
available for analysing or correcting errors:
If you cannot immediately recognize the cause of the error, select a
detailed message that seems appropriate. The system positions the
cursor accordingly in your source text and, if necessary, you can also
display the long text to the detailed message for further information.
If the detailed message you have selected is not suitable, you can
repeat the check and choose another detailed message.
Rename keys (for example, characteristic names) if they contain
hyphens. To rename the function, choose <LS>Characteristics -> Rename
</> on the Basic Data screen in characteristic maintenance.
If the system does not recognize changes to master data that have been
made parallel to object-dependency maintenance, restart maintenance.
You can also save the source text of the dependency when the syntax is
incorrect. The system then sets the status of the dependency to
<ZH>locked</> and makes the dependency unavailable for configuration.
