Hi John,

Try this:

update CMS SET
"ORDER" = ?CMS.ORDER,
DESCRIPTION = ?CMS.DESCRIPTION,
PK = ?CMS.PK
WHERE pk = ?CMS.pk

or use AERROR() for error description after tableupdate().

Well, we have some SQL tables that need to access these SQL tables, but the legacy SQL code references these fields without underscores, and we have no access to that code. I have constructed a simple test table CMS which consists of ORDER I, DESCRIPTION C(10), PK (primary-key, of course). I have no trouble generating the cursor using the CA, but updates do not work. here I have isolated the problem code:
