>Bummer. Possibly even bad design. Have you every written programmes for interacting with DBMS sub-systems? If you make the programmer responsible for COMMIT processing, you have introduced an unnecessary complexity and a chance for error.
>Could the program issue an explicit ROLLBACK rather than ABEND? Why re-invent a process? ABEND/COMMIT/ROLLBACK processing is valid. DBMS sub-systems are to facilitate business processing by reducing complexity. NOT to have programmers do things that are already handled by them! - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
