#ENDTRANSACTION Built-In Function

Use #ENDTRANSACTION to commit the database changes associated with a

transaction identifier. #ENDTRANSACTION invokes the ENDTRANSACTION

operating system procedure. When this procedure is called by the process (or its

backup) that issued #BEGINTRANSACTION, the TMF subsystem tries to commit the

transaction. If it does so successfully, the changes made by the transaction are

permanent, and the locks held for the transaction are released. Locks are held until

#ENDTRANSACTION exits (or until #ABORTTRANSACTION occurs).

Result

#ENDTRANSACTION returns 0, if successful, or a file-system error indicating the

reason ENDTRANSACTION failed.

Consideration

To abort and back out a transaction, use the #ABORTTRANSACTION built-in function.
