Description and comments

• Commit is used to validate a database transaction, which is a set of operations that update the database tables (including counters). A transaction is started by a Trbegin instruction.
• The tables opened before the transaction stay open, and files opened by Trbegin or after Trbegin are closed, except those redeclared using an existing abbreviation.
• Commit can only be carried out in the script or subprogram level that started the transaction.
• A unique level of transaction is supported by the Sage X3 engine. Thus, if a subprogram that performs an autonomous transaction can be called within another transaction, the Trbegin / Commit / Rollback instruction must be executed in the calling nested level. The fact that a transaction is already in progress is defined by the value of adxlog: if a transaction is in progress, its value is 1, otherwise is 0.
• Commit releases all the locks placed on the tables and records and the symbols locked during the transaction. Commit also releases locks placed before the start of the transaction, except for those placed on symbols.
• The database is only updated when Commit is executed. Before Commit, the new or modified data is not visible to other users.
• Commit does not return any particular status, except if the buffered database write operations are done by the Writeb operation. In that case, fstat will return an error status if a delayed write operation failed (the status has the same value as a Write operation that failed).
