I have a single INSERT into the table followed by a "SELECT FROM mytable in ARRAY" statement, but I don't think a SELECT into an array creates a non-filtered view in the same way a SELECT into a cursor does.

Paul,

In 'USE IN mytable' command 'mytable' is workarea alias which may or may not be the same as a table name. If USE mytable IN 0 AGAIN works than mytable table is open in another work area under different alias. You can use Dta Session windor or AUSED() function to find that area.
