I am not chnaing the id so in that case is ALL okay. I have this situation where generally this code works and in around 2% of the cases this fails, why I can understand. Does the same apply to SCAN

I have never used UPDATE is it more reliable and fast, that was the reason for SEEK and REPLACE WHILE.
