COMMITTRANS Statement
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Action

 Commits all ISAM database operations since the most recent  BEGINTRANS
 statement.


 Syntax

  COMMITTRANS


 Remarks

  COMMITTRANS commits a pending transaction (a series of ISAM database
 operations).

 Transactions are a way to group a series of operations so that you can
 commit them as a whole, rescind them all, or rescind operations since a
 designated savepoint. Use  BEGINTRANS to indicate the beginning of a
 transaction. Use Savepoint to designate a savepoint. Use  ROLLBACK and
 ROLLBACK  ALL to rescind all or part of a transaction's operations.

 If you attempt to use  COMMITTRANS when there is no transaction pending,
 BASIC generates the error message Illegal function call.

  COMMITTRANS commits only ISAM operations. It does not affect other BASIC
 variables or file types.

 Any ISAM operation that closes a table causes transactions to be committed.
 For example, if a type mismatch occurs while you are opening an ISAM table,
 the table is closed and a pending transaction is committed.

 You may wish to code your programs so they first open all tables, then
 perform all transactions, then close tables. Make sure any operation that
 can close a table occurs outside a transaction.

 Example

 COMMITTRANS statement.
