This was all started by a message from Stephanie.
I think that Benjamin has asked the important question. I think the answer
should be yes.
I looked at
aoRecord.c
borecord.c
mbboRecord.c
In my mind non of them satisfy Benjamin's criteria and each has different ways
of handling udf.
I think the following should be done for ALL output records
Leave udf TRUE until one of the following occur
a) recGblInitConstantLink finds a non null constant value.
b) The device support init_record routine returns a 0.
c) omsl == CLOSED_LOOP and dbGetLink successfully returns.
d) special detects that a write to field VAL was performed.
NOTE: Currently none of the above record types perform step d)
I think this would satisfy Benjamin's criteria and also solve the problem
Stephanie presented.
