I think he is asking a more generic question but maybe I am wrong.
PUTF only determines is a record is being processed becaise a dbPutField
was directed to the record which has PUTF true.
If the dbPutField causes a set of records to be processed the other
records will not have PUTF true.
A record can be processed for many reasons:
An input link in another record has PP true.
Another record has a forward link to the record.
An ouput link in another record has PP true.
A dbPutField occurs in this record.
PUTF was invented for reprocessing a record if a dbPutField is directed
to a record while it is active so that it can be reprocessed when the
record completes processing.

Marty,
 I am somewhat confused by your answer to Peregrine. I had thought the PUTF
field of a record, which is described in the "Record Reference Manual" as
"Did dbPutField cause the current record processing", is exactly what
Peregrine is looking for.

Dear all,
Is there any mechanism by which a record can determine the
reason for it being processed, i.e. can it distinguish between
a dbGet and dbPut to the same field?
A look into the code suggests the answer is "No", but I'd
thought I'd ask.
Best regards,

Peregrine
