   In the following method of my datasetcontroller should TRACKING-CHANGES for my TT be TRUE before I set it to TRUE. I am not in update mode from my viewer.
   
   After calling SubmitChanges shouldn't TRACKING-CHANGES be FALSE?
   
   METHOD PUBLIC VOID UpdateStat( piStat AS INTEGER ):
   
   DEFINE VARIABLE rRowid AS ROWID NO-UNDO.
       DEFINE VARIABLE oAdapter AS SmartBusinessEntityAdapter NO-UNDO.
       
   ASSIGN oAdapter = SmartBusinessEntityAdapter:FromDatasetController (THIS-OBJECT) .
            
       IF NOT VALID-OBJECT (oAdapter) THEN
           UNDO, THROW NEW AppError ("A SmartBusinessEntityAdapter needs to be associated with this DatasetController first.", 0) .
                
       IF VALID-OBJECT (oAdapter:UpdatingSmartDataTarget) THEN
           UNDO, THROW NEW AppError ("The SmartBusinessEntityAdapter is currently in update mode.", 0) .
            
       IF eTagHdr.Stat = piStat THEN
       RETURN. /* no action required */
       
       MESSAGE "UpdateStat......TrackingChanges=" TEMP-TABLE eTagHdr:TRACKING-CHANGES
      VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
      
       TEMP-TABLE eTagHdr:TRACKING-CHANGES = TRUE.
        
       ASSIGN 
       eTagHdr.Stat = piStat
           rRowid          = ROWID (eTagItem).
    
       oAdapter:SubmitChanges ().
       
       /* Roger Blanchard / Osprey Retail Systems Feb 27, 2019
   If we are here then no errors were thrown from the backend 
   so lets refresh our bindingsource 
   */
       
       /* Refresh a single row */
       oAdapter:BindingSource:Refresh ().
     
       /* Reopen query in case the join between the tables might
          have changed */
       /*
       oAdapter:QueryHandle:QUERY-OPEN () .
       oAdapter:BindingSource:RefreshAll() .
       oAdapter:QueryHandle:REPOSITION-TO-ROWID (rRowid) .  
     */
    
     RETURN. 
    
       CATCH err AS Progress.Lang.Error :
       LogManagerWrapper:WriteError(err).
       UNDO, THROW err. // throw to caller to handle error 
           // Consultingwerk.Util.ErrorHelper:ShowErrorMessage (err) .       
       END CATCH.
       
       FINALLY:
   MESSAGE "UpdateStat (End)......TrackingChanges=" TEMP-TABLE eTagHdr:TRACKING-CHANGES
      VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
   END FINALLY.
   
   END METHOD.

   Hi Roger,
   
   the SmartBusinessEntityAdapter keeps tracking changes turned on always. It just disables it around the merge/empty-dataset methods. And when a DatasetController is in use, the DatasetController's data is the one that the SmartBusinessEntityAdapter works on.
   
   What are you trying to achieve? 
   
   Mike

   Okay, that makes sense for what I am seeing.
   
   When looking at the sample code on the dataset controller TRACKING-CHANGES was being set to TRUE. I assumed incorrectly we had to do that or that it would be FALSE.
   
   What I am trying to do is delete a TT record but not send the delete to the backend.
   
   In my sample below I was not setting TRACKING-CHANGES = TRUE but it is already set. Even though I am not calling SubmitChanges this delete is tracked and will be sent to the backend on the next Submitchanges.
   
   Do you see an issue with me setting TRACKING-CHANGES = FALSE at the beginning of the method and then to true in the FIANLLY?

   That should be o.k. - dealing with the row-state is pretty flexible.
   
   Alternatively, you can also call ACCEPT-CHANGES or ACCEPT-ROW-CHANGES to wide wipe ROW-STATE. All possible. 
   
   Of course it's best to turn off tracking changes when doing updates that do not need to be tracked. 
   
   The backend only cares about modified rows.
