Narrative:
With the opening up of runway 16R in sea we were flight planned on the olm 4 arrival into sea and landing south. I planned on using runway 16R (which was what ATC assigned). I was unable to select the olm 4 arrival with runway 16R out of the FMC. You could use runway 16C or runway 16L but not runway 16R. If you select runway 16R the arrival would be dumped out of the FMC. The only way to input the arrival was to manually type in the waypoint with altitude and speeds after selecting ILS runway 16R from the FMC. The database was double-checking for accuracy.

Narrative: WITH THE OPENING UP OF RWY 16R IN SEA WE WERE FLT PLANNED ON THE OLM 4 ARR INTO SEA AND LNDG S. I PLANNED ON USING RWY 16R (WHICH WAS WHAT ATC ASSIGNED). I WAS UNABLE TO SELECT THE OLM 4 ARR WITH RWY 16R OUT OF THE FMC. YOU COULD USE RWY 16C OR RWY 16L BUT NOT RWY 16R. IF YOU SELECT RWY 16R THE ARR WOULD BE DUMPED OUT OF THE FMC. THE ONLY WAY TO INPUT THE ARR WAS TO MANUALLY TYPE IN THE WAYPOINT WITH ALT AND SPDS AFTER SELECTING ILS RWY 16R FROM THE FMC. THE DATABASE WAS DOUBLE-CHKING FOR ACCURACY.
