Substring doesn't work in KM

Question

Can anyone explain why following code doesn't work in my KM:
<%
String viewName = new String (snpRef.getInfo("COLL_NAME"));
nameLength = viewName.length();
if (nameLength >30) {
     viewName = viewName.substring(0,30);
%>
It falls with exception:
com.sunopsis.tools.core.exception.SnpsSimpleMessageException: Error during task interpretation
Task:5
java.lang.Exception: BeanShell script error: Sourced file: inline evaluation of: ``out.print("\ncreate view \t") ; out.print(snpRef.getInfo("SRC_WORK_SCHEMA") ) ; . . . '' Token Parsing Error: Lexical error at line 4, column 38. Encountered: "\n" (10), after : "\"": <at unknown location>

I have tried without substring and everything works fine.
<%
String viewName = new String (snpRef.getInfo("COLL_NAME"));
nameLength = viewName.length();
if (nameLength >30) {
     viewName = viewName + "xx";
%>
THNX in advance!

This worked for me :-
<@
String viewName = new String ("<%=odiRef.getInfo("COLL_NAME")%>");
nameLength = viewName.length();
if (nameLength >30) {
viewName = viewName.substring(0,30);
System.out.print(viewName);
