Uncommitted Buffer?

Hi All,

Is there any way that 2 different enquiry screens in the same progress session can return different data from the exact same record?

Is it possible that there is an uncommitted buffer write from one not being picked up by the other? Or is the data being read from the BI instead? If so how can I recreate this?

The above has been reported at a number of our remote sites (each running separate local databases), but we have been unable to recreate this in test.

Thanks in advance.

Lee.
 
Do the screens contain a browse that shows the different data?

If so I can imagine that one browse has fetched the record before a change was made and the second after the change.
 
Thanks Paul,

This isn't the case as the screens in question are dialogs.

We have noticed a possibly related issue with our use of persistent procedures (that update said field). The clean up code was erroneously placed directly after the wait-for and is consequently not being run on cancel \ end-key of the screen.

Even with this known flaw I cannot recreate this behaviour using a couple of dummy test screens and undeleted persistent procedures.
