Nothing.

I don't thoroughly understand @BD and @UD, but I have the following
in my recently retrieved UNIX fp.4.8 man page file:

     @BD - Last batch update.  (MM/DD/YY)
           @BD is updated when a record is written to by a LOOKUP
           to it, but not by straight processing by [dr]report.

     @UD - The date the current record was last updated.  (MM/DD/YY)
           @UD is updated when a record is created/modified when it's
           saved from a screen in IUA.
