"Input Record Format: The first 10 columns of an input record contain the number of the record to replace in the file (the first record has number 1). Leading and trailing blanks are acceptable; the number needs not be aligned in the field. It is an error if an input record is shorter than 11 bytes."

The description of diskupdate/fileupdate seems a little thin even in the Author's Edition. Perhaps I'm not integrating material from other sections of the manual here and am confused, But I'm trying to understand what the definition of "replaces records" is. Replaces the record it is working with?
