USING AN ENABLE APPLICATION
UPDATE
UPDATE (F14)
To change a single record, request an update operation by:
1. Use any read operation to retrieve the record.
2. Make the necessary changes to the fields of the record.
3. Position the cursor within the record to be updated if more
than one record appears in the box.
4. Press F14 to update the record.
UPDATE BOX (Shifted F14)
When you want to change several records at one time, request an
UPDATE BOX operation. (You can only update those records that
appear on the screen.) To request an UPDATE BOX operation, do
the following:
1. Use any read operation to retrieve the records.
2. Make the necessary changes to the fields of the records.
3. Press shifted F14 to update the records.
If the application encounters an error during the UPDATE BOX
operation, it highlights the fields of the record in error. The
application then displays the following prompt at the top of the
screen:
Continue processing, Y/N, F1
If the application displays this prompt, you must enter either
the character Y (to indicate that you want to continue) or the
character N (to indicate that you want to stop) and then press
F1. If you enter a Y, the application continues the UPDATE BOX
operation beginning with the record that directly follows the
record in error. If you enter an N, the application stops the
UPDATE BOX operation. In this case, the application has already
updated any records that appear above the record in error. You
can, however, request an UNDO operation at this point and return
the data base to its previous condition.
