WRITEing to the main (-) file without unlocking LOOKUP's.

[John Esak]

You haven't given quite enough inromation. If you are in *clerk... run the
process from @entsel and do a lookup to the current record (main file). Then
write that alias.

If you are in *report that is another matter. I don't think there is a
way... but may I ask what the need is?  Why would "writing" the open lookups
be detrimental?  If you do a generic WRITE to update the current file and
have not changed anything in the open lookups, those files will not be
changed... unless you care that the timestamp of the key file will be
modified. (and possibly, not sure, used index for that record.)

  Does anyone know how to WRITE just the main file without unlocking open
LOOKUP's?

  This process runs in the 'gblrate' table.  I tried 'WRITE -' and 'WRITE
gblrate' but fP didn't like either.  I checked fP help, the fPmanual and
Stuart's book.
