timeout input

INT(32)

the number of seconds that the transaction should be allowed to exist before it is

aborted due to a timeout. If the specified value is greater than the configured

AutoAbort attribute, the AutoAbort value takes precedence.

This parameter is optional. If omitted, the configured AutoAbort value is used.

trans-begin-tag output

INT(32) .EXT:ref:1

INT(32) .EXT64:ref:1

returns a value that identifies the new transaction among other transactions that

the calling process has initiated. This parameter is optional for single-threaded

requesters and process pairs, but it is required for multithreaded requesters and

process pairs.

86 Audit trail at begin-trans-disable threshold, or operator has disabled the

BEGINTRANSACTION procedure.

98 TFILE was opened using a nonzero sync-depth and all transaction

control blocks (TCBs) within the caller’s CPU are currently occupied.

Note.

EPTAL callers can pass 64-bit pointers by specifying the compiler directives

__EXT64 and SETTOG _64BIT_CALLS before sourcing from the EXTDECS file.
