These two functions are part of the appframework library and are used for record switching. selrec is designed specifically for use with the toolbar and uses the name of the default toolbar tools for identifying the exact operation. selectrecord is a more universal function and requires the specifying of the operation you wish to perform.
selrec(wxtool me,appwindow appw,boolean dodefer)
selectrecord(appwindow appw,string operation,boolean silent,integer error )
