record/line prompt in cluster (with cache) after delete?

[Joe Boyle]

at the time I wrote the earlier suggestion I noticed that it looked as
though you hadn't yet updated, so you could have tried code like 'push
update , find' from within the delete proc - but then you might need to add
a confirmation prompt in case the user deleted the wrong records and wanted
to cancel.

If you had have had any prompts/requests, you would have had to code the
above after the flag is set (to skirt around the request prompts ) - I'm
guessing that the PATH will still be set.

P.S. as usual, I meant the request buffer rather than the select buffer.

Regards, Joe.

Thanks, Joe.  The PUSH FIND in the POSTUPDATE PROC seems to work just fine.
There are no prompts on this screen:  The key value is passed from the
calling screen.
