How to delete modif version of a program?

[Former Member]

Earlier threads advise selecting the version in Version Mgmt and clicking "Delete". There is no "Delete" option on the menus or context menu in Version Mgmt. I deleted the transport but the "modif" version is still present. How do I get rid of it?

Thanks,

Geoff

Whats the need to get rid of modif version?

since it's not in active mode in your database anywhere.

The next time I want to modify this program, I would have to find and undo all the changes in this M version. That raises the possibility of errors. All other code mgmt programs I have ever used allow the deletion of a modified version--how do we do this in the SAP world?

you need to go to the version management in the program, and select the older version before your changes, and press retrieve. that would make the version before your chanegs as active

The Active version is fine as-is. All I want to do is get rid of the modif version shown above. It's now in a transport; how do I delete it?

Check the active version and press the retrieve button (Ctl F5).

Hello,

Just check the checkbox for the button which you want to activate and press the 'Retrive' button. That version of the program will become the active version.

I ran into a similar issues, saw this and found that the answer shown did not resolve my issue.  I used the following technique to get rid of the "modif" version of the program:

I used transaction SE38, viewed the program in display mode.  Followed the menu path Utilities --> Inactive objects.  On the following screen there was a tree display with one of the nodes being Programs.  I opened that up and the program I was having the issue was there.  I selected that item and hit the activate button.

The modif version was no longer there.

Hope this helps!
