Remove redundant parentheses

Overview

Remove redundant parentheses.

ATC Finding Message: Parentheses wrap a complete expression and can be removed

Rationale

Parentheses that wrap an entire condition or arithmetic expression do not change evaluation order but add visual noise. They often remain after refactoring and make expressions look more complex than they are. Remove redundant outer parentheses and keep only those needed for precedence.

Non-Compliant

IF ( lv_status = 'A' ).
  process_a( ).
ENDIF.

Compliant

IF lv_status = 'A'.
  process_a( ).
ENDIF.
