"UPDATE PVIDAL/INSPEC SET INMJMN = '6' WHERE EXISTS..."

I do not want to update all records.  I am doing things wrong, 
definitively. 

I want to update just the ones that follow this selection criteria 
described below.

Files: INSPEC, RTGOPR
Key fields:  INSPEC.INITEM, RTGOPR.RTID

I want to UPDATE NISPEC.INMJMN = '6' only where:

a) INSPEC.INITEM = RTGOPR.RTID
b) INSPEC.INATRB Like '%ANODIZE%'
c) INSPEC.INMJMN<>6
d) RTGOPR.WKCTR='CA00'
