N_TCOMMIT()


Returns

A numeric transaction ID number (TID).


Description

Ends an explicit transaction and Returns an ID number for the 
transaction, much as FOPEN() opens a file and Returns a file handle. 
The transaction ID can be used with N_TSTATUS() to determine if the 
file server has finished processing the transaction.

The function will issue a Clipper COMMIT if one has not already been 
issued.

You do not need to wait for one transaction to finish before beginning 
another, nor do you need to monitor a transaction's progress. Your 
program can begin another transaction while the server is still 
processing an earlier transaction in the background.


Example

USE Custfile EXCLUSIVE
N_TBEGIN()                  // Begin a transaction
.
.                           // Do stuff
.
nTranID = N_TCOMMIT()       // End transaction & get ID
DO WHILE 'A' $ N_TSTATUS(nTranID)
                            // Wait for server to finish
ENDDO
