So this would be something like:

If parmCommit = '0'; // no commit control
EXEC SQL SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL NO COMMIT;
Else; // yes commitment control
EXEC SQL SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
EndIf;

This would be required before each insert, update or delete statement?

I don't understand the differences between the options READ COMMITTED, REPEATABLE READ and SERIALIZABLE.

@SET TRANSACTION: sets the commit level for a connection (= ACTGRP or JOB, depends on setting at compiletime or STRCMTCTL - default (ACTGRP is recommended). This statement is not allowed inside an already started transaction. Transactions are started with the first lock and end with rollback or commit. The commit level is used until next SET TRANSACTION.

@ISOLATION LEVELS:
NONE: never use it with SQL, never ever!!!
READ COMMITTED and UNCOMMITTED READ standard if you are using cursors for update (update where current of)
If you are using select into and searched updates (update where ID = :someID), REPEATABLE READ is strongly recommended!!!
SERIALIZABLE: SQL standard recommends this - not usable with AS/400 (and compatible systems)
