How to fix this error?

PDM SQL needs to be restructured to NOT use UPDATE table SET: (with
colon and commas) per standard ABAP recommendations.
Extraction of standard ABAP documentation:

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Do not use the colon and commas to separate chained statements, since
you could change an entire database table without wanting to, if you use
them wrongly.
* FALSCH * WRONG * FALSCH * WRONG * FALSCH * WRONG *
* UPDATE SCUSTOM SET: DISCOUNT = '003',
* TELEPHONE = '0621/444444'
* WHERE ID = '00017777'.
This code fragment is not a single statement that update the discount
and telephone number for the customer with the customer number
'00017777'. Rather, it represents two statements - the first changes the
discount for all customers, while the second changes the telephone
number of the customer with the customer number '00017777'.
