Don't forget to put the COMMIT keyword on your F-spec! I've only noticed mention of the opcodes for commit/rollback, not sure if someone mentioned the F-spec keyword?

Anyway, John, if you started RPG in 1992, then these have probably been there the entire time you've coded RPG. (I don't remember exactly when they were added, but I know they were there in RPG III, so it's been there since at least the early 90's)

In my experience, it used to be extremely rare that commitment control was used at all in IBM i shops. (Not just with native I/O but with SQL as well.) Usage has increased in recent years, but it's still not very common, which is a shame.

It's strange to me that you knew about it in SQL, but not in native I/O. My experience has been that any shop using commitment control uses it in both places.

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.
