Marty,

thanx for your answers. I just asked myself what happens when the record
is being processed (scan lock active). Then remembered that records with
out links are *always* in the same lockset with the target record (even
if NPP NMS), so this will prevent the record that is being processed
from outside field changes.

Next question: If the record is being processed asynchronously, i.e.
PACT=TRUE but scan lock is not active (record is waiting for the
prcosess callback). Then the fields are not protected from changes via
other records' output links, correct? I.e. one cannot rely on such a
record's fields having the same values as when the callback was set up
during the first call to process?

Ben
