Read only routines

Hello,

I have user written routines in the designer that are read-only. Is there a way to make them write-able?
I cannot edit, save or compile these routines, since they read-only.

Thanks

They are usually read only for a reason. Are you sure you're in a project where they really should be edited? If so, any idea how they got to be read only?

I am in a project that is not read-only.

These really should not be read-only. All the jobs (parallel and sequence) all the shared containers etc can be edited. How they came to be, I don't know.

Thanks
Anil

There are instructions to change that attribute here you could find by searching for NRO but I have no idea if that still works in the 8.x world and XMETA.

Thanks, I have also called IBM and they have indicated it might require a procedure to manually change attribute.

Have you tried exporting them, changing that attribute in the dsx from "1" to "0" and then importing them back? Wondering if they will allow themselves to be overwritten or not...
