• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS108 - In a condition, =, <, <=, >, >=, <>, and is null are supported ?

  The SAP error message DDLS108 typically indicates that there is an issue with the use of comparison operators in a condition within a Data Definition Language (DDL) statement, such as in a SELECT statement or a WHERE clause. The message suggests that the condition you are trying to use is not supported or is incorrectly formatted.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are using unsupported comparison operators in your SQL statement.
  The syntax of the condition is incorrect.
  You are trying to use a comparison operator with a data type that does not support it (e.g., comparing a string with a number).
  There may be a logical error in the way the condition is structured.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DDLS108 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Syntax: Ensure that the syntax of your SQL statement is correct. The condition should use valid comparison operators such as =, <, <=, >, >=, <>, and IS NULL.
  
  
  Review Data Types: Make sure that the data types of the fields you are comparing are compatible. For example, do not compare a string field with a numeric field.
  
  
  Use Supported Operators: Ensure that you are only using the operators mentioned in the error message. If you are using any other operators, replace them with the supported ones.
  
  
  Simplify Conditions: If the condition is complex, try breaking it down into simpler parts to isolate the issue.
  
  
  Check for NULL Values: If you are using IS NULL, ensure that it is used correctly. For example, column_name IS NULL is valid, but column_name = NULL is not.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for the specific version you are using to understand the limitations and supported syntax.
