ADD ATMFFILESET

IF NOWARNLONGTX is specified, SEPARATETX must also be specified

READNULLRECS

(for entry-sequenced files only)

reverses the effect of the SKIPNULLRECS option. See the description of

SKIPNULLRECS below for details.

To instruct the runtime to read null records for all audited entry-sequenced files,

set the global parameter ATMFSKIPNULLRECS to OFF. To request this option

for a specific program, use the =_ESCORT_READ_NULL_RECS define.

If this option is specified, it overrides the value of the global parameter

ATMFSKIPNULLRECS and of the =_ESCORT_SKIP_NULL_RECS define.

READNULLRECS is the default.

READTHRULOCKS

instructs NonStop AutoTMF software to enable read-thru-lock mode on audited

files that use automatic transactions.

If this READTHRULOCKS is specified, the file attribute value overrides the

global parameter ATMFREADTHRULOCK value.

To set this option for a specific program file set use ADD ATMFPROGRAMS or

ALTER ATMFPROGRAMS.

RECORDTX

generates an automatic transaction for each locked record and commits the

transaction as soon as the record is unlocked.

RECORDTX is used when a file is accessed by programs in which record

locking sequences do not allow NonStop AutoTMF software to commit

automatic transactions (there is at least one lock held on a record in this file at

any given time).

For RECORDTX to take effect, it must be configured both as a program

attribute and as a file attribute, using ADD ATMFPROGRAMS

or ALTER

ATMFPROGRAMS.

The RECORDTX file attribute can be specified in conjunction with other

attributes, such as COMMONTX or SEPARATETX. The other attributes are

ignored if RECORDTX is specified for both the file and the program. If

RECORDTX is specified for a program, but not the file, then the other options,

such as COMMONTX or SEPARATETX, will be in effect.

For further details on the use of RECORDTX, see paragraph Record-Level

Transactions on page 4-12.
