SEEF_BADI118 - Details

• The SAP error message SEEF_BADI118, which states "Enclosing literal characters '...' or ... are superfluous," typically occurs in ABAP code when there are unnecessary quotation marks or backticks around a string literal. This can happen in various contexts, such as when defining strings or using them in method calls.
  
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the presence of superfluous enclosing characters around a string literal. For example, if you have a string defined like this:
  DATA(lv_string) = 'Hello World'.
  And you mistakenly write it as:
  DATA(lv_string) = ''Hello World''.
  or
  DATA(lv_string) = ``Hello World``.
  In these cases, the additional quotes or backticks are unnecessary and lead to the error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to remove the extra enclosing characters. Ensure that string literals are defined correctly. For example, change:
  DATA(lv_string) = ''Hello World''.
  to:
  DATA(lv_string) = 'Hello World'.
  or if you are using backticks, ensure they are used correctly in the context of the code.
