Hello Arun,
Firstly it is **not** recommended to use SYSTEM for anything other than management tasks.
My Assumptions
* the procedure ART_PROC was not created by the SYSTEM user
Solution : you need to give EXECUTE privileges on the procedure to SYSTEM
How: Only the user who created the procedure or who has been give grant privilege can give the EXECUTE privilege. SYSTEM cannot give itself this privilege
For the Grant command check out sec 1.8.6.17 of the http://help.sap.com/hana/SAP_HANA_SQL_Script_Reference_en.pdf
OR
in the HANA Studio
in the System tab expand the system with the log in user as the owner/grantor of the privilege
here you will see a node called Security.
Right-click and choose 'Find User/Role'
Type System in the search dialog that opens - double click on SYSTEM user displayed below
System user opens up - Navigate to Object Privileges tab
here using the green '+' button  search for ART_PROC and then on the right side tick the 'Execute' checkbox
click on save.
Warm regards
