MODIFY { dbtab | *dbtab } VERSION vers.
Effect
This variant of the MODIFY statement works essentially like the short form of the Open SQL statement, but belongs, along with the VERSION addition, to the obsolete access statements for which the name of a database table must be specified for dbtab that begins with "T" and comprises no more than five characters.
If the VERSION addition is used, database table dbtab is not processed; instead, the table whose name is made up of "T" and the content of vers is processed. For vers, a data object with no more than four characters and of type c must be specified. The content of rows will continue to be obtained from table work area dbtab or dbtab*. The statement is not executed if the database table does not exist or does not fulfill the naming conventions given above.
