Specifically, it suggests that there is a missing single quotation mark in the query definition or in the parameters being passed to the query.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Single Quotation Mark: This error typically occurs when a string value in the query is not properly enclosed in single quotation marks. This can happen in various places, such as:
  
  In the filter conditions of the query.
  In the variable values being passed to the query.
  In the SQL statements generated by the query.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Query Definition: If the query is defined incorrectly, such as having an incomplete or malformed expression, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Data Source Issues: If the data source (like an InfoProvider or a BEx query) has issues with its definition or structure, it may also lead to this error.
