Why Are There Three Types of Edit/Collection Points?

Edit/collection points always appear as a group of three constructs; an Edit Point with a Pre and Post Point before and after.

Always enter your code into either a Pre Point or a Post Point. Edit Points are provided for backwards compatibility with earlier versions of CA Plex and should be avoided (see the online help for a full explanation).

Always use a Post Point to enter changes unless you have a particular reason to use the corresponding Pre Point. In Updating the shared data we told you to use the Pre Point. This was because there was code in the Post Point that needed to be executed after the code we added.
