I have a datawindow (Powerbuilder 2019 R3) that returns -1 on Update() and the following message appears :
Datawindow does not have update capability.
I checked the update properties and they looked correct.
Suggestions?

If you are using PFC classes, see if there's a property / instance variable on the u_dw called something like "ib_isUpdatable". That one has to be checked on the dw control.
If I remember well (cannot access powerbuilder right now), there's also one called "is_updatesAllowed", which can be used to indicate which operations are allowed on the DW. (I=Insert, U=update, D=Delete).

EDIT: I've been able to access powerbuilder, so here, marked in yellow the properties I was speaking about:
Chris,
Here is the screenshot.

Chris,
I followed your suggested steps and it was not resolved. I decided to test on another test database and the error did not appear. It runs out the a role was setup by the tester on the original database that prevented the user from updating the database table. I should have checked this before posting this question.
Thank you to everyone who helped me out!

Great! Just ignore my further suggestions, hadn't seen you resolved it already. (lacking refresh)

- Could it be that you have the datawindow repeated in another library (and when running that one is found, instead of the one you are looking at?)
- Are you dynamically changing the 'dataobject' of the datawindow control in the code?
that's about all I can think of.
