  • What causes this issue?

    The character chain &V3& should be an expression. However, the check
    established that the first character in the character chain up to
    position &V1& already constitutes a complete expression. The subsequent
    character &V2& therefore triggers a syntax error.

    System Response

    The expression contains a syntax error.

    How to fix this error?

    Check the expression. Note that the following characters have a special
    meaning and must only be used in constants when the constant is enclosed
    by inverted commas: '&[] '{}"%'
    Typical error situation when entering constants:
    A constant itself contains an inverted comma or quotation marks (' or
    "). Within a constant, use instead the non-reserved ` or ? character. If
    you delimit a constant with quotation marks ("abc"), then this constant
    may contain the ' character ("abc's great").
    Always use the delimiter characters symmetrically. Incorrect:
    ''Teststring'. Correct: 'Teststring' or "Teststring".

    Procedure for System Administrators

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
