hi ,

i am facing a strange problem. when i change to edit mode the code remains as display format and there are buttons in the toolbar to insert,delete, modify .

it puts a tag *{ insert

*}

like this when i press insert button.

i want to do normal editing. How to ressolve it.

this is a Z-program and editor lock is unchecked.

please help me.

Use EDIT->Modification Operations -> Swith off assistant.

Once you switch off, it will work like a normal editor.

this is because you are trying to change a progarm that is not the orignal in that system, in which you are trying to make changes.

for such program Original system is different from the system in which you are trying to modify it. You can also check it from object directory entry.

To edit such type of program please follow the below procedure.

GOTO T-CODE SE03

Under the node *Object Directory choose change object directory entries and click on execute icon or double click on it.

now check the check box R3TR PROG and give the program name in the input area and click on execute icon

now double click on program name and change the original system and give the name of system in which you are tyring to make changes in that program.

I have applied this solution many times and this will also work for you.
