I've just been going thru the threads on iteration count.

Don't put a number in there - put a numeric variable.

Each time PROIV executes an iteration of the LS, the numeric
variable is incremented. Iteration count is not intended to
commit for you but to keep a counter for you. You still
need to put code in there to do the commit.

That's not its apparent behaviour... I must read the manual again!

Strange.....

You could just as easily use

#REC += 1

in after Read No Error logic!!!


However, the manual says.....

Enter either a literal or a variable for the iteration counter. (Not Supported on Mainframe.)
Potential problems involving application with extremely large transactions on systems with limited rollback space can be alleviated by specifying an iteration counter per LS.
PROIV will issue a COMMIT after processing this number of iterations.
The use of the iteration counter precludes the possibility of rollback after the first group of records has been written.

hmmmm

I must read that manual again...
