code protected in transport

[Former Member]

Hi all

I wrote some programs on a (develop) system and then manually downloaded CR and uploaded onto another (develop) system. Transport worked, but, when I try to modify program in new system with SE38 , I have a strange behaviour; the possibilities are:

1) I can modify program without problems

2) System alert me to not modify original system (and then let me modify program)

3) Code is protected (I have to use button "insert", "change" and "delete" to edit code)

Can someone please explain me the reason of this behaviour? What am I missing to have that program transported are simple Z report that can be changed without alert or protection of code?

Thanks

Hi,

This is because your program is treated like a standard object and therefore the modification assistant is active.

To switch it off, when you are in the editor do the folowing:

• go to menu Edit -> Modification Operations -> Switch off Assistant
• This will display a warning message explaining the consequences of switching off the assistant.
• Confirm the popup.
• You can now modify the program normally

Hope this helps.

Alternatively, use a Transport with Relocation, or go to SE03, and change the object directory entry, so that the original system is the system you're working in and the development class (package) is one that's on that system.
