  The SAP error message /SMB/RUNTIME_ABAP030 Syntax error in class &1 indicates that there is a syntax error in the ABAP code of a class specified by &1. This error typically occurs during the execution of ABAP programs or when trying to activate a class in the ABAP Workbench.
  Cause:
  
  Syntax Error in Code: The most common cause is a mistake in the ABAP code, such as missing keywords, incorrect variable declarations, or improper use of ABAP statements.
  Incompatible Changes: If the class has been modified and the changes are not compatible with existing references or implementations, it can lead to syntax errors.
  Missing Dependencies: If the class relies on other classes or components that are not available or have errors, it can cause syntax issues.
  Transport Issues: If the class was transported from one system to another and there were issues during the transport, it might lead to syntax errors.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Code: Open the class in the ABAP Workbench (transaction SE24) and review the code for any syntax errors. Look for common mistakes such as:
  
  Missing ENDCLASS or ENDMETHOD statements.
  Incorrectly defined methods or attributes.
  Typos in keywords or variable names.
  
  
  
  Activate the Class: After correcting any syntax errors, try to activate the class again. This can be done by clicking the "Activate" button in the ABAP Workbench.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent classes and components are correctly defined and activated. If there are any missing dependencies, resolve those first.
  
  
  Review Transport Logs: If the class was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate issues during the transport process.
  
  
  Use Syntax Check: Utilize the syntax check feature in the ABAP Workbench to identify any syntax errors before activation. This can be done by clicking on the "Check" button.
  
  
  Debugging: If the error occurs during runtime, consider using the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify where the syntax error is being triggered.
