What counts as an update?
For the purposes of the Autosave frequency option,
the following are counted as one update:
- Overtyping the contents of a record
- Changing the contents of a record by overtyping, regardless of the number of characters changed, is counted as a single change. If you press Enter and then overtype your changed record again, this is counted as a second change.
- Using a prefix command that alters record data
- A prefix command that alters data, such as ">" (the command for shift right), is counted as a single change. Use of a prefix command is counted as only one change, even if the command is used to alter multiple records.
- The CHANGE or RCHANGE primary command
- When you issue the CHANGE or RCHANGE primary command without the ALL operand, the command counts as one change for each record it actually changes.
