The current ABAP program wanted to execute an open SQL statement whose WHERE condition uses a LIKE operator.

The pattern for a LIKE operator can contain no more than <runtime parameter> characters (excluding closing blanks). This is the minimum of <runtime parameter> and twice as long as the database field (<runtime parameter>) that the condition is supposed to apply for.
