Put for Designer File

[Whittall, Conrad]

Hi Roger,

You need to ensure that the record buffer has been altered from its
default state before the PUT will actually write a record. If the record
buffer still contains the default initial values then the record is not
marked as changed. Doing a LET on some item in the designer record to
change that item's default value is all that is needed.

And if you need the record buffer re-initialized afterward then remember
to use the RESET option on your PUT statement. 

Best regards,
Conrad

I am using PUT verbs to a DESIGNER file in Quick.  It appears that the
records do not get written directly to the file at the time of the PUT.
Does anyone know if there is an output buffer that only gets flushed
periodically?  Is there a way to force a flush after every PUT?

Thanks!
