Yes - please.  It's like stabbing in the dark if you don't simplify.

And Dennis, you said you commented out @entsel a bunch of times, but
you never answered whether or not you commented out the actual label or
just the code that it runs.   We need clarity here.

And Mark, yes I think everyone understands Ken says @key puts the user
in update mode.   Yes, we've known that for a while now, but doesn't
appear to be the issue here.  Based on what he has said so far, the
problem does not appear to be in @key (unless program flow is not
what he thinks and has conveyed).

The issue is why is his one table updating the sys fields with supposedly
nothing other than a lookup - to move to another record in @key where
others on the same version on other platforms are  not seeing that
behavior (which doesn't jive with being in @update, but Ken already
explained that if not field values are changed, he might not be
writing the record - which is probably a good thing).

There must still be something in Dennis' code that is active where
he doesn't realize it.  And he already admitted that since he did
reproduce the behavior we see here on another file there.  So there
was some progress there.
