Re: Question concerning the RPG command DELETE(e)

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps the commitment control is being used and the delete is rolled back?

Could a trigger program prevent the delete without signaling an
exception (note I don't know if its even possible)?


Only two things I can think of off the top of my head...

Note BLOCK(*NO) doesn't apply when updating/deleteing.
