isUpdatePending

Procedure that publishes to data-targets to check pending updates. If no updates are known to be pending (RowObjectState is not RowUpdated, if neither NewRow nor DataModified are TRUE). Otherwise returns without action.

Location: data.p

Parameters:

INPUT-OUTPUT plUpdate AS LOGICAL

False if this routine should check for pending updates.

Notes: New is included as a pending update. Called from canNavigate, which is used by navigating objects to check if they can trust an updateState (update complete) message. This check is only valid from a DataSource point of view. Use canNavigate to check an actual object.
