Update a table from EXTNAME-defined data structure using search argument

Good morning folks,

I am updating a file. I have an externally defined data structure defined with EXTNAME().

I can't find a specific reference anywhere, but is there a syntax to use that data structure to update the row in the table, like so, maybe?

UPDATE  TABLE1  SET TABLERECD = :TABLE-DS WHERE KEY1 = VALUE1 AND KEY2 = VALUE2?

I have just seven fields to list out, and I'm doing that, but I just wondered if there was a way to do the above (without having to input with an update lock)?

Reason I'm asking is for the future, if I could set it up that way, it would make it easier to add changes to other columns, and maybe other thins.
