Jay,
Dieter Bender (D*B) says it ... and Dieter always lives in a "perfect world"!
As I said it before as long as you do not have a 100% proper and well-designed Activation Group Design (and most companies don't have it!!!) and all commits and rollbacks only occur in a single Activation Group, you should not use Commitment Scope *JOB.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

DsternB,
Thank you very much. You addressed my points exactly as I was hoping.
Interesting Birgitta says always use *Job and you say never to.
Well in my case these are api pgms in a cgi job so I think actgrp commit scope is the way to go!!
Im curious about your point below… can you elaborate a bit more?…
*********************
<D*B>Only SQL starts commit by automatic - if the first update/insert is made by RLA it will fail</D*B>

Oh and as to your point about the implicit commit… as I was playing with this yesterday, every time the top level pgm that started the cc running in *new ended, the commit would happen without a commit being coded. If I signed off and back on the record was still there.
So I do believe what I laid out is an accurate assessment of how cc behaves on an api pgm in a cgi job environment.
Thanks!!
Jay
