Many thanks, that was a silly oversight, explicitly saving to and moving to
the next record in the Approvals table fixes the problem.
I appreciate the suggestions for more efficient code!

Try this loop instead, you need a save record in the loop, and since you are
saving each you don’t need the apply to selection and first record… the loop
below will take less execution time and only modify the records
You need to save each record:
[Approvals]log:=$new_line+$current_log
SAVE RECORD([Approvals])
NEXT RECORD
and, of note, just a bare NEXT RECORD command assume that [Approvals] is the
default table. It might not be.

Thank you all for the quick feedback!
The approvals table has all records with Approved defaulting to False.
The problem was with not including Set Channel (which is not really what I
wanted to be doing anyways). I must have taken a fork in the road (while
reading the documentation this morning) w
OK If you are going to do this, why not go all the way
C_LonGINT($RECORDSINTABLE;$ALLRECORDS;$NOTAPPROVED;$APPROVED)
$RECORDSINTABLE:=RECORDS IN TABLE([Approvals])

> ALLRECORDS:= Records in selection([Approvals])
SET QUERY DESTINATION(INTO VARIABLE;$NOTAPPROVED)

Since you encountering more records than expected, do all records in the table
“Approval” have False assigned assigned to the field “approved”?
Try this in your method:
ALL RECORDS([Approvals])
$count_all := Records in selection([Approvals])
QUERY([Approvals];[Approvals]approved=False)
$count_q
There are other issues with this loop. You must for example make sure
record is loaded and table is set to read/write. before doing something. I
have seen code where programnmer didn’t load record and it was locked
somewhere else. Thios causes all types of problems. I always for my for
loops like
as noted elsewhere:
for Send Record to do anything (and not give the error your have
mentioned) you have to have opened/created a file on disk with Set
Channel.
However, it is possible that there was a typo somewhere, and what you
are trying to do is to manipulate the record (do something with

Hi Noah,
I'm not clear if your question regards SEND RECORD or, "Am I missing
something in my understanding of looping over records?"
Regarding SEND RECORD, the example in the documentation isn't complete,
you first have to set up a destination for the record using SET CHANNEL.

Good morning!
I work with a large codebase that has had many developers over the years.
Consequently, when building something new, I will sometimes look to see how
something was done previously. More often it has been the case that I will
go straight to the documentation to see the currently recomm
