Again, if this SAS/Intrnet, another consideration is the service timeout.

If the time required for the update process exceeds the service timeout,
you're better off having your SAS/Intrnet program ( i.e. the one initiated
by the HTML form ) fire off a batch SAS process to do the update.  If
notification of update completion is important to the user, the HTML page
back to the browser can display update status ( as set by the batch update
process or dataset interrogation ).  You can also use the META REFRESH tag
on the returned page to automatically redisplay update status every XX
seconds.

Dispatcher)

                If by "SAS Dispatcher" you mean the Application Dispatcher
in SAS/Intrnet, there's no restriction on the number of records that may be
updated, or if there is it's a large limit.  I have a form that updates as
many as 6 records in 2 different tables.

                Hi SASL;

                I have multiple records with one Key Variable as follow:
                ID is the key variable.

                ID      Camp_name             L_code
                0004    Duba_maufacturing       32
                0005    Duba_maufacturing       25
                0006    Duba_maufacturing       32

                I need to use SAS Dispatcher FORM to update all records in
one form. But a
                form can update only one record at a time. Is there anyway
to update all
                these records displayed on this form at the same time and
update it at once
                with one "Submit" Button.

                Kindly;
                Wollo
