• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/3FL_NEWS_CLASS054 - An exact check is not possible for declarations with 'like' ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/3FL_NEWS_CLASS054 indicates that there is an issue with the use of the LIKE operator in a declaration within your ABAP code. This error typically arises when the system cannot perform an exact check on a variable that is declared using the LIKE keyword.
