Description
The table sflight_tab is a hashed table with a unique primary key and a non-unique
secondary sorted key. Since a secondary sorted key is specified in the MODIFY
statement after USING KEY, it is possible to access the hashed table via the associated secondary table index.
The example only serves to demonstrate the syntax. Generally, instead of using the MODIFY statement such modifications should be carried out using a field symbol or a data reference:
WHERE planetype = 'A310-300'.
<sflight_wa>-seatsmax = <sflight_wa>-seatsmax + 20.
ENDLOOP.
