Description

Use isRecordChanged( ) for form-based data handling with tables in work areas. When using the data objects, isRecordChanged( ) has no effect; check the rowset’s modified property instead.

Form-based data buffering lets you manage the editing of existing records and the appending of new records. Editing changes to the current record are not written to the table until there is navigation off the record, or until saveRecord( ) is called. Each work area has its own separate edit buffer. isRecordChanged( ) returns true if the any fields in the currently selected work area have changed; otherwise it returns false.
