abap program in change mode

Former Member — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 21:53:18 GMT

Hi,

I have a program that needs to be modified. The previous user has locked the program and hence is forbidding me to do changes. How can I change the properties?

I find the 'Editor Lock' Check box is checked for the program. Also I found table TRDIR where I could update the properties for this program but it does not have table maintainence properties generated. hence I cannot modify the record.

Any thoughts or leads would be helpful?

Thanks,

check out for both the transactions.

you can do one thing..

Go the TRDIR table and give the program name for which u have to unlock the code. Then enter into debugging mode and change the code to edit mode.

Remove the EDTX(lock code) flag set for the program.Save.

This would unlock the code.

Hey!

You can go to sm12 click on list and highlist you particular program entry and delete it.

This would resolve the issue.

hi folks,

thanks for the reply. I do not have the access to SE04 or SE12. I tried SM12 and cliked on the list and deleted the lock entry and the entry in the table TRDIR did not get deleted.

it is throwing the message 'changes to this program are frobidden by the user'

anything I am missing here?

Thanks,
