Re: Second time updation of record within the same loop.

Little confused here...  One thing that jumps right out at me, though,
is that you are going to be changing one record you don't want to.

Your logic...

DoU  LR
Read Record setting on LR at end
If outside range turn on LR
Update the record
EndDo

Consider, the first record you are hitting that is outside the range,
it is also going to get updated!  When you do the check for range,
if the record is outside the range you either need a very large if
statement around the rest of the block, or you need to exit from
your do loop somehow.  Myself, I use the ifstatement.

DoU LR
Read Record setting on LR at end
If outside range
    turn on LR
else
   Update the record
EndIf
EndDo

Now, other than that, I don't see any flaws in the program logic,
or maybe I'm just missing it.  How is your loop getting executed
again?  With a Do and Read, it will read thorugh each record once,
unless you are doing a SetLL or something.

Please explain a little more to me, thanks.
