• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W8341 - Opening parenthesis in line &1 not closed ?

  SAP Error Message:
  W8341 Opening parenthesis in line &1 not closed
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when the system detects an opening parenthesis ( in a line of code or expression that does not have a corresponding closing parenthesis ). This typically happens in ABAP programs, reports, or any place where expressions or statements are written, such as selection screens, conditions, or calculations.
  The system expects every opening parenthesis to be matched with a closing one to ensure syntactical correctness. If it finds an opening parenthesis without a matching closing parenthesis, it raises this warning.
  
  Where it can occur:
  
  ABAP source code (REPORT, FUNCTION MODULE, FORM routines, etc.)
  Selection screen parameters or select-options with complex conditions
  Conditions in WHERE clauses or logical expressions
  Text elements or string templates with embedded expressions
  Any place where parentheses are used to group expressions
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the indicated line number (&1): The message will show the line number where the unclosed parenthesis is detected. Go to
