Rule Definition
If ABAP custom code is created by copying standard code which contains OSS notes or if the custom code has been modified in order to take into account OSS notes, then part of this code could be altered when SAP patches corresponding to these notes will be applied or when an upgrade is performed. So, for obvious reasons of robustness and code integrity, it is important to check custom code containing OSS notes.
Remediation
Check why the OSS note reference has been inserted into the custom code and try to adapt this custom code in order to avoid using code related to the OSS note.
