  The SAP error message TPDA301 indicates that there is an issue with the offset and length specification for a field in a data structure. This error typically arises when the specified offset and length for a field exceed the actual size of the field or are otherwise invalid.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Field Definition: The field might be defined with a size that does not match the offset and length specified in the program or data structure.
  Data Mapping Issues: When mapping data from one structure to another, the offset and length may not align correctly with the source or target structure.
