last update using get next from a different file

[Mike Fedkiw]

I'm resending this because I think I only replied to Ken last time. 

Okay I get what invy(@ud) is but since it returns the exact same date for like 20+ thousand records and that's just impossible in my system, I'm wondering how it handles a getnext command. Could it always be reporting the date from the initial record of the lookup and not getting the @ud of records obtained with a getnext or getprev command.
