If an element is mapped to either a record field or a memory variable, the Update option can be used to automatically update the element database to reflect any changes that have been made to either the record field or the memory variable since the element was originally mapped.
Use this option after field characteristics, such as size or type, have been modified. When you generate your map and receive an error message saying that things are not in sync, you exercise this option to quickly remap the application data to the EDI elements.
