  The SAP error message UJD_EXCEPTION108 indicates that there is a conflict in the internal processing of a query or report, specifically related to the use of certain characters or operators. The message states that the characters '*' (asterisk) and '?' (question mark) cannot appear simultaneously in the internal structure being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Character Usage: The error typically arises when both wildcard characters are used in a context where only one is allowed. In many systems, '*' is used as a wildcard for multiple characters, while '?' is used for a single character.

  Solution:
  
  Review Input Fields: Check the fields where the error is occurring. Ensure that only one of the wildcard characters is used at a time. If you need to search for multiple characters, use '*' and for a single character, use '?'.
  Modify Query/Report Settings: If the error arises from a query or report configuration, review the settings to ensure that the filters do not include both wildcards. Adjust the settings accordingly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the correct usage of wildcards in the specific context you are working with.
