v processing question

[Greg Widdows]

Ken,

If you are running a report with the '-u flag', doesn't the processing 
stop at a record that is currently being modified and continue when the 
modification is finished? So, to update a record using the 'write' 
wouldn't be possible while the record is being modified, but would after 
the modification is finished or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Greg Widdows
