• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TPDA128 - Inconsistent breakpoints exist ?

  The SAP error message TPDA128, which states "Inconsistent breakpoints exist," typically occurs during the debugging process in ABAP programs. This error indicates that there are breakpoints set in the code that are not consistent with the current state of the program or the debugging session.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Breakpoints: This can happen if breakpoints were set in a previous version of the program, and the program has since been modified. The breakpoints may no longer correspond to valid lines of code.
  Multiple Debugging Sessions: If multiple debugging sessions are open, it can lead to conflicts with breakpoints.
  Transport Issues: If the program has been transported from one system to another, the breakpoints may not be valid in the new environment.
  User-Specific Breakpoints: User-specific breakpoints may not be valid if the user has changed their settings or if the program has been altered.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Remove Inconsistent Breakpoints:
  
  Go to the ABAP Editor (SE38 or SE80).
  Open the program in question.
  Navigate to the breakpoints (you can do this by using the menu path: Utilities -> Breakpoints -> Display).
  Remove any breakpoints that are marked as inconsistent or that you suspect may be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Reset Breakpoints:
  
  You can reset all breakpoints by using the command /h to enter debugging mode, then using the command BREAK-POINTS to list and delete them.
  
  
  
  Check for Active Debugging Sessions:
  
  Ensure that there are no other active debugging sessions that might be causing conflicts. Close any unnecessary sessions.
  
  
  
  Re-Set Breakpoints:
  
  After cleaning up the inconsistent breakpoints, you can re-set the breakpoints in the code where you need them.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the program was transported, ensure that the transport was successful and that all necessary objects are in sync.
