Have you tried (shudder) "PUSH UPDATE"? Be fully aware of the consequences
of this action though. I.e. the effect on screen mode, having refind the
last record, what files are being updated, etc.

Subject: Update options
Hi All,
I have a .qks screen that has an option which prints some of the entered
data:
proc designer C
begin
do internal i_prt_cover_sheet
end
After the user enteres "C" they then have to enter "U" to update the data.
I want to have it do both in one action.
I cant just put the 'do internal i_prt_cover_sheet' in the preupdate
procedure (which exists and has various processing in it)
as the printout is not always needed.
My though was to have this:
proc designer UC
begin
do internal i_prt_cover_sheet
<something here to start the update process>
end
But what is that something?
I could use 'do internal preupdate' but I dont think that would start the
update process correctly.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
