• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER102 - Variable declaration for object expected ?

  The SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER102 with the description "Variable declaration for object expected" typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming, particularly when dealing with object-oriented programming (OOP) in ABAP.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when the ABAP parser encounters a situation where it expects a variable declaration for an object but does not find one. Common causes include:
  
  Missing Declaration: You may have forgotten to declare an object variable before using it.
  Incorrect Syntax: There might be a syntax error in the code that leads the parser to misinterpret the structure.
  Scope Issues: The variable might be declared in a different scope or context that is not accessible where it is being used.
  Typographical Errors: Simple typos in variable names can lead to this error if the parser cannot recognize the intended object.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Variable Declarations: Ensure that all object variables are properly declared before they are used. For example:
  DATA: my_object TYPE REF TO my_class.
  CREATE OBJECT my_object.
  
  
  Review Syntax: Go through the code to check for any syntax errors. Ensure that the code follows the correct ABAP syntax rules.
  
  
  Scope Verification: Make sure that the variable is declared in the correct scope. If it is declared in a method or a different class, ensure that it is accessible where you are trying to use it.
  
  
  Correct Typographical Errors: Look for any typos in the variable names and correct them.
  
  
  Use the ABAP Editor: Utilize the ABAP editor's syntax check feature (Ctrl + F2) to identify any other potential issues in the code.
