Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TPDA124 - Only ABAP line breakpoints can be stored as user BP ?

  The SAP error message TPDA124 indicates that you are trying to set a breakpoint in a non-ABAP context, which is not allowed. This error typically occurs when you attempt to create a user breakpoint in a program or context that does not support it, such as in certain types of function modules, methods, or other non-ABAP code.
  Cause:
  
  The error arises because the SAP debugging system only allows ABAP line breakpoints to be stored as user breakpoints. If you attempt to set a breakpoint in a context that is not ABAP (like in a screen or a non-ABAP program), you will encounter this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Context: Ensure that you are trying to set the breakpoint in an ABAP program or function module. If you are in a non-ABAP context, you will need to find the appropriate ABAP code to set your breakpoint.
  
  
  Use ABAP Debugger: If you are debugging ABAP code, make sure you are using the ABAP Debugger. You can set breakpoints directly in the ABAP editor or during the execution of the program.
  
  
  Remove Invalid Breakpoints: If you have previously set breakpoints in invalid contexts, you may need to remove them. You can do this by going to the Debugger and clearing any breakpoints that are not valid.
  
  
  Check for Syntax Errors: Sometimes, syntax errors in the code can lead to unexpected behavior. Ensure that the code is syntactically correct.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the context in which you are trying to set the breakpoint, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a colleague who has experience with the specific program or module.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Breakpoints: User breakpoints are specific to the user who sets them and are stored in the database. They are useful for debugging specific issues without affecting other users.
  ABAP Debugger: The ABAP Debugger is a powerful tool for analyzing and debugging ABAP programs. It allows you to set breakpoints, watch variables, and step through code execution.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or specific fixes related to debugging issues. Sometimes, there may be known issues or patches that can resolve debugging problems.
