QuestionQ16

Scripting and Automation

An AMPscript UpdateDE function updates a column value in a data extension row when an email is sent. The email is sent to 250,000 subscribers, but the user cancels the send while it is in progress and only 400 emails are sent.

How many subscriber rows are affected by the UpdateDE function?

  • A 400 subscribers who were sent the email
  • B No rows are updated
  • C Only subscribers who exist in All Subscriber
Explanation

Marketing Cloud processes AMPscript in a batch as the final step of an email send. Cancelling the send before completion prevents that final batch from running, so UpdateDE does not update any data extension rows.
