Same thing as above in SQL would be :-

UPDATE MyFile SET Total = Cost * Qty

MyFile contains 3 fields: Cost, Qty, and Total
Cost = 5.00, Qty = 3, Total = 0 (needs to be updated)
Record format name is MyFiler

The code would look like this..

eval Total = Cost * Qty
update MyFiler

That’s it!!!

Yes, no problem. eg add 10% to total price :-

UPDATE product_file SET total_price = (total_price + (total_price * 0.10))

Or

UPDATE product_file SET total_price = (total_price * 1.10)

Using the example from Gilly400, instead of adding the Postage stamp, could I multiply by a fixed % instead?

Just another thought – if you only need to update a couple of records you could also use DFU. Use the command UPDDTA.
