Error while calling ABAP program from Data Services

Hi All,

We have a ABAP program which accepts two parameters 1] a date 2] a string of comma separated ARTICLE numbers .

We have used a ABAB transform in ABAP dataflow which refers this ABAP program.

If I pass a string of 6 articles as second parameter the job executes successfully

But if i pass 9 articles as follows

$GV_ITEM_VALUES='3564785,1234789,1234509,1987654,1234567,2345678,3456789,4567890,5456759';

i get the following error

ABAP program syntax error: <Literals that take up more than one line are not permitted>.

The error occurs immediately after ABAP dataflow starts, ie even before the ABAP job gets submitted to ECC

I am using BODS 4.2 . The datatype of $GV_ITEM_VALUES is varchar(1000).

The ABAP program that gets generated by the DS job has the following datatype for this parameter

PARAMETER $PARAM2(1000) TYPE C

Is there a different way to pass string characters to ABAP transform in data services?

I have attached the screen shot of trace log and error
