    %recs is object recordset in file myfile
    %rec is object record in file myfile

    fd to %recs
    end find
    for each record in %recs
      ...
       %rec = CurrentRecord
        if %(system):RecordIsUpdated($curfile, $currec) ne true then
           Audit 'First update of Record num: ' %rec:RecordNumber
        end if
       ...
      end if
    end for
