UPDATE doesn't break debug?

I'm working on some code where I need the user to go directly into the
screen, in update mode -- it's catching scans from a laser scanner --
and I'm using -xs rec1 to stand on a blank record, and UPDATE in
@ENTSEL to get into update mode.
Now, that works ok -- though it's a bit tough, apparently, to catch the
BRKY and exit it for some reason -- but my *real* problem is that I'm
having difficulty further down the code, and when I run the table in
-DB, *UPDATE does not take me to entry mode on the screen*.
*I* call that a bug, can anyone disagree?
It's not as annoying as the few Heisenbugs I've had in 20 years where
it worked ok in dclerk (where I could debug it), but broke in rclerk...
but those all date to 4.0.
Cheers,
