Re: Roll back the changes without commitment control

I wouldn't know why you wouldn't want to use commitment control in that 
case.  Unless you were afraid that other updates might have happened to 
some of the same records.  For example
Balance was 1500
One transaction added 5
One subtracted 11
etc.
And one transaction from a wholly separate program added 22.  during the 
middle of these updates.  What would the balance be after a roll back?

If that is not the case, then by all means use commitment control.  If 
this is a concern, then log all records to another file and either clear 
or roll back from that file.

Hi All,
  I have program which updates 2 files & write in to other 3 files. Same
program is calling another program, if call is successful( we can know it 
by
the return parameter). we need to commit the changes else we need to roll
back. Is there any method other than Commitment control to do this(some of
the files are not journaled).

with regards
Manoj S.T
