RE: Commitment control and triggers

As far as I can recall, you will need to add COMMIT keyword on F spec of
all files that the trigger program is updating.  Trigger program should
normally not executing the commit/rollback, the caller will do that.

You can condition the COMMIT keyword on the F spec.  I think somewhere
in the input param will tells you if you are under commitment control.
It has been awhile.

The main program is doing the rollbacks fine. The problem I need to
address is getting the trigger to roll back its file updates at the same
time. I Can't add the commitment directly to the trigger because it wont
know when the high level program does a rollback, Currently in test I
move an order from one date to another on my screen and the tracking
data is written out. If I hit F3 the order move is rolled back but the
original tracking that the move was done is not.

Re: Commitment control and triggers






I can't remember what happens but it's easy enough to test, right?  Just
do a rollback in the trigger program and see what happens.

But how about another way.  Why not send an escape message from the
trigger program and then the program that created the condition would
monitor for this and then rollback the changes itself.

Just an idea.

I am adding commitment control to a program that updates a file. There

is

a trigger on the file to write tracking records to a different file
whenever a change is made. Is there a way to get the trigger to

rollback

it's changes when I use the ROLBCK opcode in my program?
