Error in class while executing in SE24

[former_member244346]

Hello Experts,

I have created a global class in SE24 and when i am trying to execute that class in direct SE24 its giving some error "Syntax error in test Display generated test environment?" but when i am calling into program and executing its working fine and when i am checking syntax check there no error. Anybody can help me on this.

Referred below link but couldn't understand.

Did you try to perform a syntax check?

Maybe in your report you invoke a method not afflicted by the error, but something is going wrong somewhere else.

I had the same error and discovered that the cause was a line in my class code that was too long. I declared some local types, and some of the parameters in my methods were defined of that type, so that the whole line of code looked something like this:

CLASS-METHODS do_something
IMPORTING iv_parameter_name TYPE zcl_my_long_class_name=>ts_my_structure_type-field_in_structure.

This line of code was too long. I've changed the parameter's type to a dictionary type, made sure that there were no other long lines of code in the class, tried to re-generate the test class environment, and it worked.

Probably there are other possible syntax errors (as I could see by searching the SAP notes), would you recommend a place where to add a break-point in the standard code of SE37 to know which exact syntax error it is? Maybe adding a break-point at statement SYNTAX-CHECK, INSERT REPORT or something like that could be sufficient?

Hi Sandra,

The steps I took to discover this are as follows:

1. I tried to execute the class Test Environment by click F8 when inside the class.
2. I got a popup: "Syntax error in test. Display generated test environment?" I clicked "Yes".
3. I got a status-bar error message: "Test frame could not be generated". I double-clicked it and discovered it is message OO751 (ID 'OO', number 751).
4. I navigated there using the Technical Information button (also possible by going to SE91 of course), and clicked Where-used.
5. I set a break-point in every usage. The one that turned out to be relevant was in function SETS_GN_CLASS_FRAME_GENERATE, line 76.
   

   

6. I executed the class again, entered the debugger, cleared the value of L_SUBRC, skipped the MESSAGE statement and resumed the operation. I got the same popup as before, clicked "Yes", entered the debugger again, cleared L_SUBRC and skipped the MESSAGE statement again, then I ended up in the generated report %_JJ_TESTFRAME_CLASS.
7. I tried to execute (F8) this report, but it jumped to a problematic line of code, with a red text below it saying 'LINE_TOO_LONG':
8. I went back to my class, clicked on 'Source-code Based' (Ctrl+Shift+0) and entered the source-code view of the whole class.
9. I edited this code and made sure no line of code exceeds 115 characters, which appears to be the maximum line length in a class that allows the generation of the Test Environment.

So, in summary:

1. Go to message class 'OO' number 751.
2. Click Where-used.
3. Put a break-point in every usage.
4. Debug, clear L_SUBRC and skip the MESSAGE statements.
5. Find out what is wrong with the code of the generated test environment.

Good luck!
