I'm curious about the original issue, so I went back to the original email.

Why would the second insert fail? Not knowing anything more about the program, I can only imagine that there is some type of editing that might cause it to fail between inserts.

Would it be possible to create a duplicate (empty) file in qtemp, insert the two records into the temporary file, then copy the two records into the master file at the end of the cycle? If the second record has to be rejected, the copy would not take place and the temporary file cleared for the next try.

Or is there some other issue that I'm not aware of that would cause the second record not to be written?

Also, although there is no unique key to the file, the two records are "complementary", how does the system know that they belong together? Does the system have a way to weed out orphans?

There's so much more to this situation that needs to be known to offer solutions.

Subject: How to Undo an SQL Insert

I'm working with a legacy transaction file from our ERP (i.e. Commit=*none).
My SQLRPGLE service program procedure inserts two records/rows into the file (they are complementary rows - both are necessary)

If the first insert fails, I simply exit the procedure with an error.

But I'm not sure how to handle the situation where the first insert is successful, but the second insert fails. If this occurs, I need to remove the row I successfully inserted.

Is there some way to capture the exact row I inserted successfully? Like maybe the relative record number? Or am I out of luck here.

TIA,
Greg
