I am able to update ADABAS File successfully using Natural program, but after logging off and logging back to Natural session, all changes are reverted back.

FIND HLP-TABLE-F-V1 WITH HELP-FOR-MAPID = ‘PMMPCCC’  
IF HELP-FOR-MAPID = ‘PMMPCCC’  
ASSIGN #I := 28  
IF HELP-CURSOR-LOC(#I) = 014020  
ASSIGN HELP-PROGID(#I) := ’ ’  
UPDATE(0120)  
DISPLAY ‘UPDATED SUCCESSFULLY’  
END-IF  
END-IF  
END-FIND

This is the piece of code used to update the filed with spaces.  
Can anyone help me out why the changes are reverted back after logoff from Natural session.

You’re missing an END TRANSACTION statement that could be placed right before the END statement.

You are performing the UPDATE but without the ET, your update is being backed out.

Depending on the setting of the ETEOP profile parameter, though.

ETEOP=ON will cause an implicit ET at the end of the program.

Thanks Brian for the solution, it worked.

Thanks Wolf, I checked the parm and its OFF. Yes, for our Development environment we updated this to avoid including ET implicitly for Natural programs.
