Execute One/Many

On the File | File Editor tab, in the Edit Records group: Use Execute One (CTRL + T)and Execute Many (CTRL + SHIFT + T) to carry out the actions defined for each field in the Execute Parameters form.

This option is also available on the Lookup Table Editor tab for Lookup Tables.

Execute will update records in the file accordingly (if Overwrite Mode is enabled in the Editing group). If records are selected, only they will be updated, otherwise Execute updates a specified number of records, or all records from the highlight to the end of the file.

• When Overwrite mode is not active, Execute only updates blank fields.
• If you select Execute Many you will be prompted to enter the number of executions. In the same dialog box you can also select All records from current position.
• Execute affects all fields except those marked as IGNORE in Execute.
• The entry in Skip Records will apply when you run Execute. You are not allowed to set a negative skip value.
• If the current record is the last record in the file, new records will be appended.
