In case the edit pen is not available, you cannot change the value in debug mode.

This happens in several situations:

when the variable is defined as a constant and therefore shouldnt be changed
when the variable is an import parameter that is not passed as value and therefore shouldnt be changed within the function

You will have to look into changing the value further up or down in your coding, most likely when it is passed to a true variable within a function that can be set with different values.

As I understand it, but not having seen your coding, I assume you will have to rewrite your coding, changing the constant to a variable or passing the value to a true variable that you can change.

And you must be given the authorization object S_DEVELOP to change the values in debug (see the exact values to be set in the object documentation).
