The END TRANSACTION
statement is used to indicate the
end of a logical transaction. A logical transaction is the smallest logical
unit of work (as defined by the user) which must be performed in its entirety
to ensure that the information contained in the database is logically
consistent.
Successful execution of an END TRANSACTION
statement
ensures that all updates performed during the transaction have been or will be
physically applied to the database regardless of subsequent user, Natural,
database or operating system interruption. Updates performed within a
transaction for which the END TRANSACTION
statement has not been
successfully completed will be backed out automatically.
The END TRANSACTION
statement also results in the
release of all records placed in hold status during the transaction.
The END TRANSACTION
statement can be executed based
upon a logical condition.
For further information, see the section Database Update - Transaction Processing (in the Programming Guide).
This statement cannot be used with Entire System Server.

Storage of Transaction Data:
For a transaction applied to an Adabas database,
or to a DL/I database in a batch-oriented BMP region (in IMS
environments only), you may also use this statement to store
transaction-related information. These transaction data must not exceed 2000
bytes. They may be read with a The transaction data are written to the database specified
with the profile parameter If the Note: |
An END TRANSACTION
statement without
transaction data (that is, without operand1
)
will only be executed if a database transaction under control of Natural has
taken place. Depending on the setting of the Natural profile parameter
ET
, the
statement will be executed only for the database affected by the transaction
(ET=OFF
), or for all databases that have been referenced since the
last execution of a BACKOUT
TRANSACTION
or END TRANSACTION
statement
(ET=ON
).
An END TRANSACTION
statement
with transaction data (that is, with specifying
operand1
) will always be executed and
the transaction data be stored in a database as described in the following
section. It depends on the setting of the ET
parameter (see
above) for which other databases the END TRANSACTION
statement
will be executed.
DL/I Databases | Because PSB scheduling is terminated by a Syncpoint
request, Natural saves the PSB position before executing the END
TRANSACTION statement. Before the next command execution, Natural
re-schedules the PSB and tries to set the PCB position as it was before the
END TRANSACTION statement. The PCB position might be shifted
forward if any pointed segment had been deleted in the time period between the
END TRANSACTION and the following command.

VSAM Databases | For information on the transaction logic that applies when accessing VSAM, see Natural for VSAM in the Database Management System Interfaces documentation. |
SQL Databases | As most SQL databases close all cursors when a logical
unit of work ends, an END TRANSACTION statement must not be placed
within a database modification loop; instead, it has to be placed after such a
loop.
