The of_setUpdateable(ab_switch) function is intended for those cases when
you have a datawindow that should not be part of the automatted update
processing built into PFC windows. A simple example might be a datawindow
you use to display calculations only (i.e. does not affect the database).
of_setUpdatable(False) will drop the datawindow control out of
pfc_validation and pfc_update logic.
I do not believe that crosstabs are updatable without special coding and I
know PFC 5 does not support any features to make it updatable. I cannot
speak for PFC 6/7, but I would doubt it. Crosstabs are a special breed and
an odd creature at best.
