Posting / Updating Fields

I am looking for guidance on how to post information in Sesame.  I was able to do this in Q&A and I am not sure how to update certain fields in Sesame.  

The steps I would have followed in Q&A were:
1. Import a fixed ASCII into a Q&A file. (We will call that file newinfo)
2. Post from that Q&A file (newinfo) to another Q&A file (we will call that file info) so that certain fields would be updated. (For example a name and address may be updated (in info) but all of the other fields would stay the same.)


I am unable to find this same utility in Sesame.  Should this be done through code?

Yes, you can use mass update and the "xpost" command to accomplish this. There are several other ways also to do this.

The best way is to use xResultset commands in Sesame to accomplish posting.  xpost commands still work but not as versatile as the xResultset commands.

Yes, definitely XResultSet commands!
