Delete Procedure

[Fry, Mark]

Hmmm, something else is going on here, I'd guess.  Just a hunch, do you have
a hard-coded UPDATE procedure?  If so, what does it look like? (ie does it
contain code that says something like...
FOR TIME_ATTEND
BEGIN
  PUT NOTDELETED TIME_ATTEND
  PUT TIME_ATTEND_2
  PUT TIME_ATTEND_2IN
  PUT TIME_ATTEND_IN
;  PUT TIME_ATTEND
END

Subject: Delete Procedure 


     On some situation (yet to be ascertained), a partial update occurs 
     about 5% of the time when updating cached records if record(s), have 
     been deleted with a range of numbers, for example: D-9/10.
     
     Has anyone an idea what could cause this from the below snippet 
     without having to see the entire code?  The data base is Oracle 8.06.  
     Could changing a field in a deleted record after the delete cause a 
     problem?
     
     Following is a snippet of the code, primary and three secondary files, 
     no DELETE files, secondary retrieval done in FIND procedure with no 
     records is possible on any of the three secondaries.  The absence of 
     secondary(s) is not the cause of the partial Update that happens.

     FILE TIME_ATTEND  PRIMARY       OCCURS 13       NOITEMS CACHE 255
        ACCESS VIA EMPLOYEENO, SHIFT_DATE, SHIFT_NO, ENTITY_CODE &
        USING EMPLOYEENO OF EMPLOYEES, T_SHIFT_DATE,             &
              T_SHIFT, TIME_ATTEND_ENTITY                        &
                    ORDERBY EMPLOYEENO, SHIFT_DATE, SEQ_NUM
