    Debugger has therefore interrupted processing.
    You are not authorized to debug ABAP programs.

    How to fix this error?

    All you may do in the debugger is choose "Continue" to restart the
    program.
    If you need to debug the program, contact your system administrator,
    who can give you the necessary authorizations:
    ,,Authorization object: ,,S_DEVELOP
    ,,Authorization field OBJTYPE:,,DEBUG
    ,,Authorization field ACTVT: ,,03
    If you do not want to debug the program and the breakpoint has
    interrupted your work, contact SAP.
    Standard programs in a production system should not contain
    breakpoints.
