Summary :
An SAP program that needs advance or error correction is blocked due to an erroneously applied editor lock. The editor lock prevents modifications by anyone except the last editor and is intended to protect program integrity. To address this, a set of specific steps must be followed: creating a user with developer rights, registering the user as a developer, using transaction SE38 or SE37 (for function modules), deactivating the modification assistant, changing the program attributes, and removing the editor lock flag. These actions require appropriate developer and object registration keys. Afterwards, the 'SAP' user should be deleted or locked for security.

Key words :
edit -> modification operations -> deactivate assistant, editor lock sap delivered, high priority operation, sap mistakenly delivered, start transaction se38, editor lock helps, editor lock proceed, field 'editor lock', terms advance correction, modification assistant
