changing an edit prohibited program file back to an editable file.

(3) Enter the backup file name and then tap [OK].

• This saves two copies of the file. One is an edit prohibited program file under the name of

the original (editable) file. The other is an editable backup file, which is created under the
name you specify in step (3), above.

Specified File Name:

sample2

Resulting Files:

sample (non-editable)
sample2 (editable)

• An edit prohibited program file cannot be opened from the Program Editor window.

• Edit prohibited program files are displayed in the Variable Manager as “EXE” type files.

• Tapping [Cancel] instead of [OK] in step (3) quits the procedure without changing the file

type.
