Background edit 4, cant end edit

    was using remote ipandent to do background edit. since it was remote the program was being edited in BCKED4. when i go to end_edit i dont get the pop-up that you normally get asking if you want to discard or accept the changes. BCKED4 doesnt actually end that program and its not possible to select another program.


    any suggestions?

    Where do you "go to end_edit"? On Remote iPendant?

    - Are you able to do anything else on remote iPendant?

    iPendant may be locked in SETUP>>Host Comm>>HTTP Authentication.

    - In SELECT>>Program DETAIL, ensure the program is not write-protected.

    - Check the system variables in #UI_CONFIG.$READONLY. All three must be FALSE.

    seems like i am able to do everything else through Remote iPendant

    checked the HTTP Authentication and its all good there

    the program is not wtire-protected, so its good on that side

    and #UI_CONFIG.$READONLY all three are false.


    im thinking maybe the pop up is getting blocked? or i am not able to see it? when i click End_edit the iPendant becomes unresponsive for a few seconds (30 or so) and than nothing else happens

    thanks HawkME that worked, unfortunately i hit enter too many times and it selected GETDATA as the background edit and now when i try End_edit it gives two different errors:

    TPIF-054 could not end editing

    TPIF-008 Memory Protect violation


    i tried going into GETDATA program and changing Write Protect to off but it doesn't let me

    You need to press end edit the click the arrow button over to select discard changes. Then press enter.


    It's easier to do if you can test on a different working system to get the sequence down correctly so you can do it blind.
