RND parser categorizes as a CAT_LITERAL in ULINE length statement

[alexlukas]

I found the following error when cleaning up some legacy code of ours:

The error log shows the same information:

20230727_144425 , line 5: Parse error in line 5: RND Parser categorizes '65' as a CAT_LITERAL

The problem occurs when I try to clean the following snippet, referencing the length 65 of the ULINE command:

REPORT zi_kw_al_test.

START-OF-SELECTION.

  ULINE AT /(65).

We currently have version 1.4.0 installed, but I did not see a reference to this issue in the release notes.

Hi Alex,

thanks very much for reporting this! This is indeed a bug, because apparently, the ABAP cleaner parser does not properly handle /(65) yet. Same for other possible syntax such as /10(65), /(*), /col(**) etc. Will look into this!

Kind regards,
Jörg-Michael

P.S.: and you're right, this hasn't been fixed up to the current version!

Hi Alex,

this issue is now fixed for the next release.

I also improved the display of all those potential cases, so numeric literals, identifiers, token operators etc. are now colored consistently:

Kind regards,

Hi Alex,

this issue should now be fixed with version 1.5.1 which was just released!

Kind regards,
