How to fix this error?

Proposal A
There is no need, that all programs in this system are Unicode-enabled
now.
As your include files work together with original SAP code, that is
known to be simple, you can switch off the Unicode flag.
Until this has not been done, the program will not work. As the
scanner does not know, wether this is an important program or a less
important program, the impact on the system is not known.
