MQL5 Compile Error 112: Double quote omitted

The official MQL5 compiler code 112 means a double quote is omitted. Although people search for "internal error 112 MQL5," the official table does not label it an internal error. Close the string literal, escape quotes that belong inside it, and inspect the preceding line if the reported location looks wrong.

Open the Coding Agent and choose MQL5 from the language menu.

Compiler code 112.mq5
string message="Order rejected";
string quoted="Server said: \"market closed\"";
string path="Pineify\\logs\\ea.csv";

Print(message);
Print(quoted);
Print(path);
  • Diagnostic: Double quote omitted
  • Code: 112
  • Layer: MetaEditor compiler
  • Verify: compile with F7

Read the diagnostic in context

MetaEditor reports double quote omitted when the source cannot satisfy the language or API contract at that location. Compile errors prevent creation of the EX5 program until they are resolved.

Start with the first error in the build output. A missing delimiter, declaration, or include can make later lines produce secondary messages that disappear after the root cause is fixed.

Likely source-level causes

Compare the exact failing line with its declaration and the official reference. Keep the compiler line and column in the repair prompt or issue report.

  • A string starts with a double quote but never closes.
  • A literal quote inside text is not escaped as \".
  • A multiline string was split without closing and reopening each literal.
  • A generated path or JSON fragment ended the MQL5 string early.

Make the smallest repair

Balance each string delimiter and escape only characters that should remain inside the literal. Recompile after the first fix because one missing quote can make many following tokens appear invalid.

Compile after each coherent edit. When the first diagnostic moves or disappears, re-read the remaining list instead of applying stale fixes from the previous build.

Use a focused diagnostic

The example closes every literal, escapes embedded quotes, and doubles backslashes used inside the source string.

A clean compile or a cleared error code does not prove strategy logic, broker compatibility, backtest quality, or live-trading safety. Reproduce the result in the target MetaTrader 5 terminal and account environment.

Compiler code 112.mq5
string message="Order rejected";
string quoted="Server said: \"market closed\"";
string path="Pineify\\logs\\ea.csv";

Print(message);
Print(quoted);
Print(path);

A practical verification workflow

  1. 1

    Save the exact diagnostic

    Record the message, code 112, file, line, and column from MetaEditor 5.

  2. 2

    Fix the first root error

    Open the first failing line and inspect the declaration, delimiters, include dependencies, and nearby syntax before touching later messages.

  3. 3

    Apply a local correction

    Balance each string delimiter and escape only characters that should remain inside the literal. Recompile after the first fix because one missing quote can make many following tokens appear invalid.

  4. 4

    Recompile and test

    Press F7, confirm the compiler result, then run the EA, indicator, or script in the appropriate MetaTrader 5 test environment.

Frequently asked questions

What does internal error 112 mql5 mean?

The official MQL5 compilation table defines code 112 as "Double quote omitted."

Should I fix every compiler message at once?

No. Fix the first credible root error and compile again. One malformed statement can create several downstream diagnostics.

Does a successful compile prove the EA works?

No. Compilation validates source and type contracts. Runtime behavior, order handling, strategy logic, and broker compatibility require separate tests.
