PUT's not working in EXIT procedure

[Oran Shapitka]

I believe the problem is that Quick has not opened your file yet for you.
Try doing a GET from your designer file using a value that you know will not
be on file.  This will open the file.  Then perform your LET and PUT.  This
should get things working for you.

Subject: PUT's not working in EXIT procedure


On an HP3000 using MPE....

I have a clustered screen which contains no database fields, only TEMP's.
Duing the EXIT procedure, I am attempting to update a field in a DESIGNER
procedure using an explicit PUT command.  I have found, however, that the
PUT verb does absolutely nothing if I use it in the EXIT procedure, contrary
to the PowerHouse documentation.

I have experimented with other PUT's in the EXIT procedure (on an indexed
data file).) and found that they have no effect either.

Has anyone encountered this before, and if so, is there a way around it?
