Description
To commit changes, you can, for example:
click out of all fields (exit the record)
go to a different record
enter Find mode
If multiple windows are open, clicking in another window does not commit the record.

If the current calculation is stored and you specify its context, this function will be evaluated
based on that context; otherwise, it will be evaluated based on the context of the current
window.
Get(RecordModificationCount)returns NULL for ODBC data sources.
Examples
Returns 0 if the record has not been modified since it was created.
If changes are made to four fields and all four fields are committed together, the result increments by
one. If changes are made to four fields and each change is committed separately, the result
increments by four.
