RE: RPGLE I/O opcodes with commit/rollback

Wow, I have been doing RPG since 1992 and have been an RPG consultant since
1999 so lots of different companies / coding styles in the past 20+ years
and have never seen those two opcodes. I guess I owe someone an apology and
lunch for losing the bet.

Just out of curiosity, was the use of this very rare or have I just not
stumbled into the right companies that use it.

Yep, the COMMIT and ROLBK opcodes are right there. The file you're working
with have to be journaled and woropened under commitment control, of course.
STRCMTCTL command, right?

I got into a heated conversation today about using the write / update

said it could not be done but the other guy said he has done it. He
said he wrote RPG code that did opcode writes and updates (again, not
via SQL) and was able to do rollbacks to remove the data from the write /

update.

Does anyone know of any way of doing this?
