You can update one field only w/o touching every field in a record.


Isn't the following the same?

UPDATE RECORDFORMAT %fields(Field);

In that only the fields specified are updated into the Input/Output buffer.

With SQL it is a lot easier to avoid record lock situations. (A SELECT does not lock a record).

You can update one field only w/o touching every field in a record.
