O$ - DAM issue - differences between dev and runtime

[Steve Finger]

Hi,

Now I'm confused. In my table classes I override $update all the time 
and at the end put

Do default Returns %flag

%flag is a local variable and it returns 1 if successful and 0 if not

In my only experience with Oracle and SQL Server the Do default works 
the same with the 0 or 1 result.

I think (but I'm going from memory) there may have been a time it 
returned null from an sql statement that ended up being totally messed 
up and I guess the Dam didn't know what to do with it.
