Have you compiled your function with debug turned on? Look in your main toad toolbar and be sure “Toggle Compiling with Debug” button is pushed down

There’s a nice KB article about all the permissions. [https://support.quest.com/toad-for-oracle/kb/9959](https://support.quest.com/toad-for-oracle/kb/9959)

On top of that, I just found out that you have to actually have the stored procedure open in the editor. Just clicking on the stored procedure from the Schema Browser and selecting debug from the menu is not enough.
