Editor lock

Hi all,

i need to modify a program which is locked by editor .

is there any way to change that program?

thanks.

You need to take the lock off. You can do this by signing on as the user who locked it and unlock. You can also change the EDTX value in the TRDIR table directly to get rid of the lock.

Just don't tell your auditors that you did either one of Rich's ideas... tell them that you contacted the developer that applied the lock and he/she logged in and removed it themselves.

Hello Priya

An alternative to violating common security rules is the following program:

START-OF-SELECTION.
  SELECT SINGLE * FROM  trdir INTO gs_trdir
         WHERE  name  = p_name
         AND    edtx  = 'X'.
  CHECK ( syst-subrc = 0 ).

  gs_trdir-edtx = ' '.  " remove editor lock

  CALL FUNCTION 'RS_TRDIR_UPDATE'
    EXPORTING
      trdir_row       = gs_trdir
    EXCEPTIONS
      internal_error  = 1
      parameter_error = 2
      not_found       = 3
      OTHERS          = 4.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    ROLLBACK WORK.
  ELSE.
    COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
  ENDIF.

END-OF-SELECTION.

Regards

Hello Priya

Another simple approach is to debug the attributes popup when you want to change from display mode to change mode. You will pass a function module RS_ACCESS_PERMISSION where you simply have to reset the sy-subrc. Usually within less than 1 minute the attribute will become editable on the popup.

Or you can just go to transaction SM12

It is the table of the objects that are locked

You can just delete the lock there
