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, 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 |
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.
