What causes this issue?

Internal error.
Many parts of the SAP software are protected against the propagation of
errors in that at particular points the data there are tested to see
whether they are (still) in the valid range. Such conditions (and the
associated tests) are called <NP>Assurances</>.

System Response

In most cases programs are cancelled when assurances are not fulfilled.

How to fix this error?

Look for previous errors in SysLog.
Try to restart the program. Or, if that is not possible, note whether
the same problem re-occurs at the next system start.
