**UpdateViewRecord, VIRTUAL**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **UpdateViewRecord **method regets the browse's VIEW record for the selected browse list item (using PROP:Selected from the associated list control) so the VIEW record can be written to disk. The UpdateViewRecord method arms automatic optimistic concurrency checking so the eventual write ([[put  re write record .htm|PUT]]) to disk returns an error if another user changed the data since it was retrieved by UpdateViewRecord.

**Implementation:**

The UpdateViewRecord method uses [[watch  automatic concurrency check .htm|WATCH]] and [[reget  re get record .htm|REGET]] to implement optimistic concurrency checking; see the //Language Reference// for more information.

**Example:**

**  IF FIELD() = ?ChangeButton           !on change button**

**   IF EVENT() = EVENT:Accepted         !if button clicked**

**    MyBrowse.UpdateViewRecord          !refresh buffers and arm WATCH**

**    DO MyBrowse:ButtonChange           !call the update routine**

**   END**
