SAP Note 71837 - Changes to xxxxxxxx forbidden by user xxxxxxx

Component : Workbench Utilities -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/71837 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues with changes being denied on a program because it is locked by the system user SAP*. The primary cause of this obstruction is that the program was initially delivered with an editorial lock, making corrections infeasible. The solution provided involves using a special report, zzedlock, designed to remove this lock. Users should update the TRDIR table's EDXT field to blank for the specified program, thereby resetting the lock. This action should be performed with caution and the changes should be reverted upon completion to ensure system integrity.

Key words :
update trdir set edtx = space, additional key words editor lock, program removes editor lock, prerequisites program delivered, editor lock, xxxxxxxx forbidden, report zzedlock, number 0 appears ->', syst-subrc, correction
