Pre-Update
The Pre Update file-level event point is executed immediately prior to updating (adding, modifying, or deleting) a record in the designated file in any manner under APPX control. It is the equivalent of adding such statements to the Pre-PCF Update event point of each and every process whose PCF is the designated file (except for how data is shared). In addition, Pre Update code is executed immediately prior to the execution of any update statement (WRITE, REWRITE, or DELETE) affecting the designated file.
See the Files Rules Option and File-Level Event Points sections for more information.
