Hi ,
If you codng in language Natural, then I think you can use the control-variable to meet the needs.

For example, in the map, set the variable #C-CUSTNAME as the #CUSTNAME 's control variable , then in the PGM, you can use the statement :
IF #C-CUSTNAME MODIFIED
...........
END-IF.

Hope It is helpful to you.
