SYNOPSIS
#include <spthread.h>
signed16 SPT_ENDTRANSACTION(
void
);
PARAMETERS
None.
DESCRIPTION
This function commits the database changes associated with a transaction started by the current
thread; if the action finishes successfully, the changes made by the transaction are permanent and
the locks held for the transaction are released.
SPT_ENDTRANSACTION() is a thread-synchronous operation. For example, the thread (but
not the process), will wait for completion of the operation. The operation is, therefore, a thread
cancellation point. In other words, a cancel exception can be delivered while the thread is wait-
ing for ENDTRANSACTION completion. If such a cancellation occurs, the ENDTRANSAC-
TION might or might not have finished. The TMF STATUSTRANSACTION procedure call can
be used to determine the state.
RETURN VALUES
A status word is returned. The value is one of the following:
0 (zero) The SPT_ENDTRANSACTION() operation completed successfully.
Nonzero values
The Guardian file-system error with this error number occurred.
