  The SAP error message TPDA416 indicates that there are multiple breakpoints set on a single line of code in the ABAP debugger. This situation can occur when you have set breakpoints in a way that the debugger cannot handle them properly, leading to confusion about which breakpoint to activate.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is the presence of multiple breakpoints on the same line of code. This can happen if:
  
  You manually set multiple breakpoints on the same line.
  You have conditional breakpoints that overlap on the same line.
  You are working with a complex code structure where multiple breakpoints are inadvertently set.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TPDA416 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Open the Breakpoint View:
  
  In the ABAP debugger, switch to the "Breakpoint" view. This can usually be done by navigating to the menu or using a specific shortcut.
  
  
  
  Identify and Remove Duplicate Breakpoints:

  Remove the unnecessary or duplicate breakpoints. You can do this by selecting the breakpoint and deleting it.
  
  
  
  Set a Single Breakpoint:
  
  After cleaning up the breakpoints, set a single breakpoint on the desired line of code. Ensure that it is the only breakpoint on that line.
  
  
  
  Test the Debugger:
  
  After making these changes, run your program again in debug mode to ensure that the error no longer appears and that the debugger behaves as expected.
