JR48669: ABAP Code Generation error - 'INTO' before 'SELECT'

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Here is a list of steps to reproduce the issue below (as
  mentioned, the
  issue is sporadic):
  
  1)      Create an ABAP extract job: provide all needed
  parameters, build
  sql, generate ABAP code and load it to SAP using the built-in
  functionality
  
  2)      Right-click on the job and choose copy
  
  3)      Right-click on the copied job and rename it
  
  4)      Edit the new job: change various values such as SAP
  client, user
  id, password, and ABAP program name
  
  5)      While still inside the new job, click the option to
  generate
  ABAP code (preserve existing values, do not build sql first)
  
  6)      ABAP generation error MAY occur: the INTO clause is
  generated
  above the SELECT clause, resulting in invalid ABAP syntax
  

Local fix

• Clearing the ABAP program, choosing the build sql option
   and
  going through its tabs in sequence (even changing nothing)
  sometimes
  fixes the issue, where a subsequent ABAP generation succeeds
  

Problem summary

• ABAP Code Generation error - 'INTO' before 'SELECT'
  
  Besides the detailed steps provided in this APAR (customer
  testcase), the error can also show when the user opens the ABAP
  stage (an existing job) and clicks "Clear Program" then
  "Generate Program"
  

Problem conclusion

• Corrected the internal string search logic. A patch is available
  for DS Client.
  

Temporary fix
