Re: Save while active (yeah right)

The main problem with SAVACT(*SYSDFN) is, IMHO, that gives people a false
sense of security. Save-while-active should really mean "I'll do my best"
but, if your system and/or apps are inserting/modifying and/or deleting data
(or just grabbing a record for update, even if you don't change it after
all), all the bets are off.
