Answer / danalaxmy
Both %Select and %SelectInit are similar in the way that
they are used to update the state record fields (specified).
But the only difference is that when we use %Select and no
row is returned by the following Select statement, the
fields retain the previous values whereas when we use
%SelectInit and no row is returned by the Select, the fields
get initialised.

%select: When it select no values the previous values in
state record won't be affected.
%selectInit: It reinitialize the state record to null values
when no values are returned by the select statement.

Answer / jithendra`
When your select statement is retrieving any row of
data,there wont be any difference between % select and %
select init,But when select statement is not retrieving any
row of data in % select the previous value in the state
record will remain same/unchange,Where as coming to %
select init the previous value in the state record will be
intialized to null values.

Answer / hari.sidd
%SELECT() AND %SELECTINIT() BOTH ARE USED TO PUSH VALUES
INTO A STATE RECORD IN AN APP ENG PROG.
BOTH WORKS THE SAME WHEN A ROW IS RETRIEVED,BUT WHEN
THE "SELECT STATEMENT ASSOSIATED IS NOT RETRIEVING A ROW "
THEN
A)
%SELECT():-NO NEW ROW OF DATA IS PUSHED INTO STATE RECORD
THER BY THE STATE RECORD CONTAINS THE OLD DATA SINCE NO NEW
VALUES ARE INTIALIZED.
B)
%SELECTINIT():-NO NEW ROW OF DATA IS PUSHED INTO STATE
RECORD BUT THE FILEDS IN THE STATE RECORD INTIALIZED
TO "NULL".
