RE: Question About DDMF

"an update without a read"???

How the heck to you do that?

>From the manual, "Before UPDATE is issued to a file or record, a valid
input operation with lock (READ, READC, READE, READP, READPE, CHAIN, or
primary/secondary file) must be issued to the same file or record."

I know that the DELETE op-code supports DELETE'ing without first
reading.  And WRITE obviously doesn't need a read first.  But neither
would help the OP as he specifically said he's updating records.
