Error- Unexpected Token: 'List'

Hi,
I am trying to execute below SOSL query in Apexcode:

List<List<Sobject>> searchlist=[FIND 'Pencil*' IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Merchandise__c (Id,Name), Invoice_Statement__c];
Merchandise__c[] merList = ((List<Merchandise__c>) searchList[0]);
Invoice_Statement__c[] invList = ((List<Invoice_Statement__c) searchList[1]);
System.debug('Found' + merList.size() + 'merchandise items.'); 
System.debug('Found' + invList.size() + 'invoice statements.');

I get an error message- Unexpected Token: 'List'
What could be the reason?

Invoice_Statement__c[] invList = ((List<Invoice_Statement__c>) searchList[1]);

You're missing a closing '>'

Hi

You can remove the type casting of Lists.

See the below code:

public class SOSLExample {
    public void findRecords() {
        //List<List<SObject>> listObj = [FIND 'Test' IN ALL FIELDS returning Account, Contact, Case, Lead];
        List<List<SObject>> listObj = [FIND 'Test' IN ALL FIELDS returning Account(Id, Name, AccountNumber), Contact, Case, Lead];
        
        System.debug('===================listObj:'+listObj);
        for(List<SObject> lObj: listObj) {
            System.debug('---------------lObj:'+lObj);
        }
        
        List<Account> accList = listObj.get(0);
        List<Contact> conList = listObj.get(1);
        List<Case> caseList = listObj.get(2);
        List<Lead> leList = listObj.get(3);
        
        System.debug('********************AccList:'+accList);
        
        for(Account acc: accList) {
            System.debug('------------------Account acc:'+acc);
            System.debug('------------------acc.Id:'+acc.Id);
            System.debug('------------------acc.Name:'+acc.Name);
        }
    }
}

Which I have written in my developer sandbox and it works well.

I see. My Bad. Thanks Temoc.

@Mahesh:- I copy-pasted your code in my developer sandbox, looks fine to me, but when I execute it it gives following error.
No such column 'AccountNumber' on entity 'Account'. If you are attempting to use a custom field, be sure to append the '__c' after the custom field name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.
I am new to salesforce.Not sure, what I am missing here.

        List<List<SObject>> listObj = [FIND 'Test' IN ALL FIELDS returning Account(Id, Name), Contact, Case, Lead];
        
        System.debug('===================listObj:'+listObj);
        for(List<SObject> lObj: listObj) {
            System.debug('---------------lObj:'+lObj);
        }
        
        List<Account> accList = listObj.get(0);
        List<Contact> conList = listObj.get(1);
        List<Case> caseList = listObj.get(2);

        System.debug('********************AccList:'+accList);
        
        for(Account acc: accList) {
            System.debug('------------------Account acc:'+acc);
            System.debug('------------------acc.Id:'+acc.Id);
            System.debug('------------------acc.Name:'+acc.Name);
        }
    }
}

Try this and check the results.

Ok. It compiles successfully. But doesn't show any output.

Hi Manish,

How are you executing the method.

Go to Developer Console --> Debug --> Open Execute Anonymous Window

SOSLExample se = new SOSLExample();
se.findRecords();

select the checkbox 'Open Log' and click on the Execute button.

Hi Mahesh,

I see it working.Thanks.
But do you know the reason, why it gave an error with 'AccountNumber'? It looks fine to me.

Manish
Mahesh DMahesh D
Any of the below reasons Manish,

--> the field is set to Hidden via field level security for the current user profile (if you're an admin fields can still be hidden) you will receive the above error.
--> If the organization is using Person Accounts and you are accessing a PersonAccount record then this field may not be available for the person account record type.
