Description

This function checks the status of each row in the window list for update, insert, and delete. If found, then it returns true. If the status of all rows is selected or tagged, then it returns false.

Example

This code is placed in the normal mode section of a window trigger to determine if a user is closing an application with transactions (update, insert, or delete) outstanding. If it finds outstanding transactions, the user must commit or exit. If the user selects commit, then it returns true. Otherwise it returns false.

              /* yes = true; no = false */
    update();          /* run update trg */
   }
