MODIFY DATA TRANSFERRED BETWEEN RECORDS
To modify any data that has been written to a batch file, you must be in
Browse mode. Then you locate the record and correct it. When you press
ENTER, the corrected data is written over the previous data in the
record. If this data appears only in one record or does not affect any
other record, that is all you need to do. For example, if you change a
customer address entered on the ORDER form, you need not worry about the
totals transferred to the TOTALS form.
If, however, you change a value that is transferred to another record,
you must locate that record and press ENTER to record the new value. For
example, if you change the customer name in Record #1 of the current
batch file, you must make sure the name is also changed on Record #2.
In this exercise, suppose you want to change a customer name from
RANDOLPH BROTHERS to RUDOLPH BROTHERS.
Action
First, locate the record on which the name was originally entered, in
this case, Record #1. Then, change the name and press ENTER, as shown in
Figure 6-20.
Since the customer name is always entered on this form and then
transferred via a save field to the totals form, you must also change
this value on the next record. But you cannot change the name on the
