Incorrect Syntax
ABAP Code Snippet
ARTICLE
Separators (spaces, commas, colons, periods, or new lines) are required in ABAP Objects following literals and offset/length definitions.
Unification of the statement syntax. The next part of a statement (token) must never be written directly following another token. A valid separator must always separate them.

In ABAP Objects and as of Release 7.0, even outside of classes, no emplty plus-bracket notations are allowed.
You can only use the plus symbol for arithmetical operations and offset/length addressing. In the latter, the plus symbol without a subsequent offset value is superfluous. At present, the system ignores a single plus sign directly after a field name or directly before a parenthesis. This allows you to insert the plus symbol in places in which offset/length addressing. is not available - for example, before dynamic expressions or in data declarations where only length addressing is possible. The system also ignores empty parentheses after the plus sign, offset value, or field name.

In ABAP Objects and, as of release 7.0, outside of classes, a literal can no longer occupy multiple program lines.
The number of spaces inserted depends on the length of the line in the Editor. The line length of the Editor is not of fixed length, since it may increase in a future release. Literals that are longer than one line in the Editor can be made up from several literals put together, if you use the ampersand ( ) sign.

In ABAP Objects and, as of release 7.0, outside of classes, field labels enclosed in parentheses in a list cannot extend over more than one line.
Field labels cannot extend over more than one line on principle. If the line length in the Editor is increased in a future release, these split field labels will cause syntax errors. The behavior of lists is exceptional and is being adapted to general behavior.
