     If Mike used getnext to do a lookup into some other file, doesn't the
getnext open that record in update mode?   And wouldn't that always return
an @ud with today's date in it?

    Or doesn't @UD get updated until some of the data in the record gets
changed?

    Or doesn't @UD get updated until the record is released by the next
getnext?  

     I'll put this on my bucket list to test.  Let's see:  That puts it
around February, 2094, if nothing on my list preempts it...
