While not impossible, it’s VERY challenging to correctly change addresses on the main. Best avoided at all costs (you can easily end up with your loco misprogrammed!)
Set the address ON THE PROGRAMMING TRACK, then you can do everything else on the main

? Sorry i misread your message.
I did place the Athern big boy on the programming track and selected new loco and read the decoder.
Got no response and error message about an acknowledgement.
Thus i cannot determine what decoder is in the engine.
So i use another engine and have decoder pro identify its decoder. I then select programming on the main and put the bigboy on the main. ?I write the long address to the decoder and get message that there is no engine on the mainline.
So what do i now do

First no reading with POM. (Programming on Main)
Place your Lok on the programming track and do new decoder, followed by read type from decoder.
read the main page to get the Lok address. Find the pages with stuff you want to change and read those pages t00. (All is best if you have the time)
Save that as roster entry.
The you can go to POM and select that roster entry, which has the address and other data.
You can now program everything except the address with POM.
