I use MODIFY/ON MATCH UPDATE to update about 30 fields. If I simply wrap the code into 2nd line webfocus thinks it's a subcommand and error out:


MODIFY FILE TABLE_A
FIXFORM FROM TEMP_FOC_A
MATCH KEY1 KEY2
ON MATCH UPDATE   FILED1 FILED2 FILED3 FILED4 FILED5 FILED6 FILED7 FILED8
                  FILED11 FILED12 FILED13 FILED14 FILED15 FILED16 FILED17 FILED18
ON NOMATCH INCLUDE
DATA ON TEMP_FOC_A
END

0 ERROR AT OR NEAR LINE    214  IN PROCEDURE XXXXXX
 (FOC401) THE MODIFY SUBCOMMAND IS NOT RECOGNIZED: FIELD11
 BYPASSING TO END OF COMMAND
