1) I have 3 programs : PGMA, PGMB, PGMC. PGMA calls PGMB
and PGMB calls PGMC. I have to do inserts, updates in all
the 3 pgms.

2) Say PGMC has done its work successfully and returned to
PGMB

3) PGMB had an SQL error while doing some update

4) PGMA has already done some updates before calling PGMB

all are running under the same CICS region.

What will happen if I issue SYNCPOINT ROLLBACK in PGMB when
it abends ? Does all the changes in PGMA,B,C rollback ?
(because all the pgms belong to same task).



1) I have 3 programs : PGMA, PGMB, PGMC. PGMA calls PGMB and PGMB calls PGMC. I have to do inserts..

Answer / akbar.

SYNCPOINT ROLLBACK will rollback to the last COMMIT point
that has been made after any update in the same task.
Having said that, if PGMA and/or PGMC, in this case have
updated the database, has/have used COMMIT after their
respective updates, then ROLLBACK of PGMB after abend would
return to the very recent COMMIT made by either of the two
programs PGMA or PGMC.
