Description
MODIFY SELECTION does almost the same thing as DISPLAY SELECTION. Refer to the description of DISPLAY SELECTION for details. The differences between the two commands are:
1. DISPLAY SELECTION enables you to display the current selected records in list mode, or in the input form when you double-click on a record. Using MODIFY SELECTION, you can modify a record when you double-click on it, if it is not already in use by another process or user.
2. DISPLAY SELECTION automatically switches the table to read-only. MODIFY SELECTION automatically switches the table to read-write. Both commands restore the table state after they have completed execution.
