Neither do you tell us which screens you are using and what you try to achieve. You cannot use DCC to program CVs in an mfx/mfx+ decoder unless you disable mfx in the ECoS. Make the changes on the loco properties screens, not on the CV programming screen.

I tried programming on the DCC programming screen and the Error message appeared on the page between the CV reading input area and the CV writing input area, saying "Error writing". Bur I can read CVs. I am basically trying to program the CV5... Then when I try on the Motorola programming page I also have this error message. Where do you disable mfx in the Ecos ?

That's the way I'd try first. Märklin implemented DCC in a way that does not work well in my experience. ESU calls mfx "M4". Just disable "M4" on the protocols page of the ECoS configuration if you want to try the DCC way.
