  Cause:
  
  Syntax Error in Code: The most common cause is a syntax error in the ABAP code of the specified class. This could be due to missing keywords, incorrect structure, or other coding mistakes.
  Incompatible Changes: If the class has been modified and there are incompatible changes, it may lead to syntax errors.

  Review Transport Logs: If the class was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate what went wrong during the transport.
  
  
  Debugging: If the error persists, consider using the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify where the syntax error is occurring.
