VMS Help System Services, $UPDSECW  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Writes all modified pages in an active private or global section
    back into the section file on disk. One or more I/O requests are
    queued, based on the number of pages that have been modified.

    The $UPDSECW service completes synchronously; that is, it returns
    to the caller after writing all updated pages.

    For asynchronous completion, use the Update Section File on Disk
    ($UPDSEC) service; $UPDSEC returns to the caller after queuing
    the update request, without waiting for the pages to be updated.

    In all other respects, $UPDSECW is identical to $UPDSEC. For
    all other information about the $UPDSECW service, refer to the
    description of $UPDSEC.
