As the message states, key fields cannot be changed via UPDATE. There are alternatives. If you are performing changes to single records, you can DELETE the old record and then INCLUDE a new record with the new key value. If you are performing changes to many records, it may be easier to make the changes to the records as you dump them out to a HOLD file, then re-create the table, and finally reload the data from the HOLD file.

Yes Dan,

It's for a single record. Any sample code to accomplish. Please let me know.
