How To Fix SATC_CI_MODE_MSGS099 - It is recommended to apply baseline for checks with stable identity only

SATC_CI_MODE_MSGS099 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SATC_CI_MODE_MSGS - ATC/Code Inspector: exemption handling

• Message number: 099

• Message text: It is recommended to apply baseline for checks with stable identity only

What causes this issue?

It is recommended to apply the baseline features only to analyzers that
provide findings with strong identity. In contrast findings with weak
identity shall not used for the base line.
One or more check do not meet this criteria. Please be aware that the
baseline features might not work (well) for such checks.
&NOTE&
Baseline is a technique to suppress findings typically in legacy code.
As long as the code remains unchanged the baseline shall suppress the
finding. As soon the code gets change the baseline effect shall get
revoked. This requires that a finding has a strong identity. Include &
line number do not satisfy this requirement. Typically an analyzer with
strong identity computes a checksum for the affected statements.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SATC_CI_MODE_MSGS099 - It is recommended to apply baseline for checks with stable identity only ?

  The SAP error message SATC_CI_MODE_MSGS099 typically relates to the SAP Code Inspector (SCI) and indicates that it is recommended to apply a baseline for checks that involve stable identities. This message is often encountered when performing static code checks in ABAP programs.
  
  Cause:
  The error message suggests that the checks being performed may not yield consistent results due to the dynamic nature of the code being analyzed. Specifically, it implies that the checks are being run in a mode that does not guarantee stable identities, which can lead to unreliable results. This is particularly relevant for checks that depend on the structure or behavior of the code that may change over time or in different contexts.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you should consider the following steps:
  
  
  Apply a Baseline: 
  
  Create a baseline for the checks you are performing. A baseline is a reference point that allows the Code Inspector to compare the current state
