Setting WC_FORCE_CHANGE% to true at a prompt (either at the default, pre, edit, option, softkey or post) makes the system set WC_WCHANGE% to true. This in turn means that the system will respond as though the current prompt had been changed. If WC_FORCE_CHANGE% is set to true on a pre-save the record will be treated as though WC_OREC% # @RECORD even if that is not the case. Thus if the user pressed the save key, the record would be saved regardless of whether it had been changed. Note that WC_WCHANGE% is recalculated from prompt to prompt so setting WC_FORCE_CHANGE% to true on a prompt does not guarantee that the record will subsequently be saved it if has not been changed.
