I'm not sure about  ASKPLUS but generally speaking to update key items you
must have CIUPDATE  turned on. This is done by using DBUTIL :      >>SET
DBNAME CIUPDATE ALLOWED   (do not use  ON)

I am pretty sure this must be done with exclusive access to the database. It
may only be done by the creator, logged on in  the group in which the
database resides.

Subject:        [HP3000-L] Cleaning dataset with Aslplus

Hello ...

I use this very simple method in Askplus to delete entries:

   SET = ORDER
   FIND ALL ORDERNR
   REPORT
     LINK L1, ORDERNR :: CUSTOM.ORDERNR
     NEWREG #B : X6 = "REMOVE"
     #B UPDATE TEXT, IF L1..ORDERNR = $MISSING
   END
   SET = ORDER
   FIND TEXT="REMOVE"
   DELETE

This works fine until the SET are all keyItems. "Update" wont perform in
that case.
Who has the smartest way to handle this?

I want to run the job while users are on. I do have Supertool.
