Length of item cannot be altered. Length modification in LIKE clause ignored.

30

Cause . . . . . : Either the data item is an edited field, has the usage INDEX, has the usage POINTER/PROCEDURE-POINTER/OBJECT REFERENCE, is a Boolean data item, is a Date-time data item, is an internal or external floating-point data item, or is a fractional scaled data item. The use of length modification, therefore, is not valid.

Recovery . . . : Remove the length modification from the LIKE clause, or change the defining data name to allow length modification.
