One could say that the VAL field of a CALC record is not intended to be written to, as its value will always be updated by the result of the calculation. The same effect (with the same possible surprise about unexpected behavior) applies to all output record types that don't consider VAL as the original source of the value to write, but calculate VAL using some algorithm, e.g. from base:
Would making the VAL field SPC_NOMOD make the behavior more clear by rejecting writes? Feels like it could have side effects that break existing databases, though... Cheers, ~Ralph
