Abstract
The BFV-BRST operator quantization method is applied to massive, abelian (Yang-Mills) theory which has only second-class constraints. A nilpotent BFV-BRST-charge is derived and used to define a unitarizing hamiltonian. Unphysical degrees of freedom can be eliminated either in a canonical gauge or in a relativistic one. In the latter gauge this is general feature (at least locally) of the BFV-BRST quantization of the systems with irreducible constraints.
