Maybe. There is the additional overhead of populating the DIM array on the
MATREAD and the reverse on the MATWRITE. The more your program accesses the

Hi,
The question of READU vs READ when you are doing updates is moot. If you do a
READ then a WRITE, UniVerse/UniData will perform the record lock. The only
difference is with READ you are gambling that no one else is updating the
record before you perform your WRITE.
