[solved] MODIFY command log shows records updated but in fact they are NOT

I had a MODIFY request that does INSERT and UPDATE against a MSSQL table by the MATCH command:

MODIFY FILE MS_AUM_FACT_SEC
FIXFORM FROM TEMP_SCD_NNA_FLAT
MATCH ACCT_CODE MONTH_END SEC_ID
ON MATCH UPDATE NNA LAST_UPDATED
ON NOMATCH INCLUDE
DATA ON TEMP_SCD_NNA_FLAT
END



The log result is

0 TRANSACTIONS: TOTAL = 671 ACCEPTED= 671 REJECTED= 0
SEGMENTS: INPUT = 189 UPDATED = 482 DELETED = 0


But in fact only 189 rows are inserted. Those rows that are supposed to be updated still have the old values.

How can I fugure out what goes wrong? Thanks,

I'd verify the synonym to ensure that the fieldnames and formats are as expected... And go from there...

And then do a TABLE FILE MS_AUM_FACT_SEC and TEMP_SCD_NNA_FLAT to hold files, with different names, before and after the MODIFY with each block ended with a -RUN and compare those for verification.

The first thing I noticed is that you don't have the following:
ON NOMATCH SQL COMMIT WORK
ON MATCH SQL COMMIT WORK


Maybe they aren't required anymore but 20 years ago they were, so I always include them.

Also, the master for your FIXFORM file does contain the fields NNA and LAST_UPDATED, right? And those fields have values? Also, where does that file come from? If it is output from a TABLE command, then make sure you have a ON TABLE SET HOLDLIST PRINTONLY command. TABLE can put a field in the file multiple if it is used in COMPUTES or in multi-level TABLE commands like this in which you would need to use NOPRINT or AS phrase to get unique field names:
TABLE FILE XXX
  SUM AAA
   BY CCC
  SUM BBB
   BY CCC
   BY AAA
PRINT DDD EEE FFF
   BY CCC
   BY AAA
   BY BBB
END

I saved only one record in the source file, copy the data to SQL and run an UPDATE command, and it works. But when I run the MODIFY, the log message still showed 1 UPDATED, while nothing actually changed.

Is there a way to log the SQL statement MODIFY passed to the database like TRACE?

Finally got it fixed after I plugged this in to the DataMigrator.

In DataMigrator the interface shows the table key fields are different than the real key fields in the SQL table. The cause is probably the order of fields in the table had been changed, but in the master file the order did not change after "synonym refresh". webfocus/datamigrator blindly picks the first 3 fields as table key. After I change the field order in the master file, everything goes normal.

However, it still bothers me that webfocus matched the wrong key fields in the synonym, rather than the matching key fields I specified in the program:

MATCH ACCT_CODE MONTH_END SEC_ID
