Summary:
Dbtsnewlen, dbtsnewval, and dbtsput should not be called before a
browse mode update is attempted. The select statement retrieves the
current timestamp from the data row, not dbtsnewval. If you issue
dbtsnewval before the browse mode update, correct results will not be
returned. This is because dbtsnewval does not have any way of knowing
what is the next timestamp value that will be assigned by the SQL
Server. A new timestamp can be generated only when an update is
actually performed. You can read the original timestamp with a select
statement.
