Cryptic error message: Syntax error

Hello everyone,

Thanks in advance for your help. I'm losing my mind over this problem. I am trying a resident load from a table I created from a binary, but I'm keep getting a syntax error and I can't find where the error is! (Image attached)

I attached the whole code (sorry for the suboptimal structure but I'm still a rookie):

//Last updated date 24/aug/2017. Developed by Julio Arriaga.

//This code creates two layouts. //The first one is a qvd generated for its use in the Corporate Sales apps.

//The other one is a txt file used by Manuel Mendez Sanchez in Marketing, agreggating sales by Product and Week.

//This executes the binary statement.

binary [..\..\Models\Comercial\P&L\CB\Model_P&L_CB_GROUP.qvw];

It seems that variable vWeek is also not set correctly. Check your code where you load the table and the following peek().

Hi Julio,

Try replacing

,$(vWeek) as Week


with


,'$(vWeek)' as Week


Cheers

Put an exit; statement after your vWeek assignment statement, and rerun your script. The script will stop at the exit statement which should work ok and give you a chance to inspect the different elements that (should) lead to a correct vWeek value

Use Settings->Variable Overview to check the contents of variable vWeek. It will either be empty or non-existant.

That means that the assignment didn't work or couldn't find any data in column GB_Week.

Start the table viewer by pressing Ctrl-T, right click table Table_Week and select "Preview". Does this table contain any data at all? If not, you know where to start fixing your code.

Good luck.

Thank you for your input, yes, there is an error in how I'm setting the variable.
