>>>* This does not work, no error gets shown, but the replace command

>>>REPLACE prceng.prcpqtyby2t WITH THIS.LIST(THIS.LISTINDEX,1)

>>>* This works
>>>SELECT prceng
>>>REPLACE prcpqtyby2t WITH THIS.LIST(THIS.LISTINDEX,1)
>>>
>>>Is this a bug, feature, or my misusing a replace on a table that is not selected?
