July 23 (Reuters) -European shares ended a touch higher on Tuesday as a rally in technology-related shares following robust earnings from SAP helped offset declining resource-linked stocks that tracked lower commodity prices.

The technology sub-index .SX8P outpaced the major STOXX indexes and gained 1.4%, with other chip stocks like ASML ASML.AS, ASMI ASMI.AS and BESI BESI.AS also advancing between 1.2% and 4.2%.
Other prominent earnings included British caterer Compass Group CPG.L, which gained 4.5% after raising its annual profit and revenue forecasts for the second time this year.
