Chris put some faith in your junior programmers.  Have a senior guy do QA on=

their work.  They've got to learn PowerHouse.  After they get the nack of 
chaning ASC in the code there won't be a problem.  It's not rocket science.

I agree that it's inadvisable to modify the update procedure, but I hate the
idea of relying for security on junior programmers rembering to code
something in the preupdate procedure.

FWIW, "that conditional compile crap" is nothing more than the following.
I've never found it especially onerous to maintain, but you could avoid the
effort entirely by spending a couple of hours writing a simple DCL
preprocessor to compile two versions of every screen.

@IF RW
screen x-w activities entry, find, change.....
@ELSE
screen x-r activities find
@ENDIF
