changing an edit prohibited 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 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.
Original File (editable): sample
Specified File Name: sample2
Resulting Files: sample (edit prohibited)
sample2 (editable)
• An edit prohibited program file cannot be opened from the Program Editor window.
• Edit prohibited 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.
