Thanks.

http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/docs/devguide/ch06.htm#P218_13516):
VoidHand myRecord = DmGetRecord(gDB, recordNumber);
StructType *s = MemHandleLock(myRecord);
DmWrite(s, offsetof(StructType, field), &newValue, sizeof(newValue));
MemHandleUnlock(myRecord);
DmReleaseRecord(gDB, recordNumber, true);
