Definition

The edit options define the result that will occur when a particular Action is saved.The possible edit options are:

SPACE or 'Take no action': No database change.

1. 'Modify using specified end date/No new record': Modify the existing record with the changes made in the table control. Delimit the existing record on the date set in the old record end date. Do not create a new record.

2. 'Delimit current record/Create new record': Delimit the existing record on the date set in the old record end date, and create a new record with the changes that were made in the table control. The change in the end date is the only change in the existing record.

3. 'Copy Record': Copy the record with the new data from the table control. No changes are made to the existing record.
