  • What causes this issue?

    The syntax check found errors in the condition. Please note that, as a
    rule, keys (names of characteristics, classes, tables, and functions)
    containing hyphens (-) can only be used in dependencies if preceded
    with the expression SKEY and entered in quote marks, for example:
    SKEY 'EXT-COLOR'
    Also, changes to master data that are made in parallel to object
    dependency maintenance are not always recognized due to buffering of
    data.

    of detailed causes of errors to choose from.

    How to fix this error?

    Check your entry and correct the error. You have the following options
    for analyzing and correcting the error:
    If you cannot see immediately what is wrong, choose <ZH>Details</> to
    see a detailed message. The cursor marks the error in your source code
    and, if required, you can also look at the long text of the detailed
    message for further information. If the detailed message does not apply
    to your error, you can repeat this check function, selecting a
    different detailed message.
    If changes to master data that are made in parallel to object
    dependency maintenance are not recognized, start the maintenance
    function again.
    For actions or procedures, check whether the object variable $SELF is
    entered for characteristics whose values you want to infer
    You can still save your dependency if the syntax is incorrect. The
    status of the dependency is then set to <ZH>locked</>, and the
    dependency cannot be used in configuration.
