5P398 - Details

• The SAP error message 5P398 E: A debugging operation requires same-level nodes typically occurs during debugging sessions in the ABAP environment.

  Cause:
  
  Hierarchical Data Structures: The error often arises when you are trying to debug or inspect data structures that have different levels of hierarchy. For example, if you are trying to compare or manipulate a parent node with a child node, the debugger will throw this error.

  Data Type Mismatch: If the data types being compared or manipulated are not compatible or are structured differently, this can also lead to the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Structures: Ensure that the
