• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GS030 - Close last operand with ' ?

  The SAP error message GS030, which states "Close last operand with '?'", typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming when there is a syntax error related to the use of conditional statements or expressions. This error indicates that the last operand in a conditional expression is not properly closed or terminated.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Closing Parenthesis: The most common cause is that a conditional expression (like an IF, CASE, or WHILE statement) is missing a closing parenthesis or a closing quote for a string.
  Incorrect Use of Ternary Operator: If you are using a ternary operator (which is not standard in ABAP but can be mimicked), you might have not closed the last operand correctly.
  Syntax Errors: General syntax errors in the code can lead to this message, especially if the parser is unable to correctly interpret the structure of the statement.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Syntax: Review the line of code where the error occurs. Ensure that all parentheses, quotes, and other delimiters are properly closed.
  Use the ABAP Editor: Utilize the syntax check feature in the ABAP editor (transaction SE38 or SE80) to identify and correct syntax errors.
  Debugging: If the error is not immediately apparent, consider using debugging tools to step through the code and identify where the logic may be failing.
  Review Conditional Statements: If you are using conditional statements, ensure that they are correctly structured. For example:
  IF condition.
      " Your code here
  ENDIF.
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the syntax, refer to the official SAP documentation or ABAP programming guidelines.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Syntax: Familiarize yourself with the basic syntax rules of ABAP, especially for conditional statements and expressions.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code to catch and manage syntax errors more gracefully.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP community forums or consult with colleagues who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By carefully reviewing your code and ensuring that all syntax rules are followed, you should be able to resolve the GS030 error effectively.
