when we are tying to update a table having 100 rows.
if the program abends when updating 51 row . how to start
updating again from the 51 row .
what was the logic


Ans: The Possible answer would be..if you had used COMMIT
before 51st ROW .. the Former records
would have been updated in the table .. If No COMMIt was
used.. The whole transaction would have been
ROLLBACKED.

Now If you want to start a fresh Transaction and want to
start Updating directly from 51st Row
Then There are two ways

1> Perform a loop to scroll till u have read 50 rows
Then Point ur cursor as CURRENT to the 51st Row
Start Updating the Records Till end of table.

or

2> Declare a Scrollable cursor & use FETCH ABSOLUTE option
to fetch a particular row directly


EXEC SQL FETCH ABSOLUTE +51 C1
INTO :TEMP1, :TEMP2, :TEMP3;


this statement fetches the 51st row of the Table

1) Create two work files, say WORK-1 and WORK-2.
2) Unload the table into file WORK-1.
3) Pass the commit frequency through the JCL to the program.
4) Program logic:
(i) read the input file WORK-1
(ii) update the table
(iii) if the number of records updated in the table is
equal to the commit frequency then apply COMMIT command.
Also, write the last committed record into the output file
WORK-2. (this record will be used for restart logic)

(iv) In Restart process,
a. read the output file record
b. next, the input file will be read untill it
finds the corresponding output file record
c. follow the same step 4(i) to step 4(iii)

Hi All, In a Cobol-DB2 program, I am fetching rows from 4 tables using cursor and then based on the a field present in that table, It processes the information accordingly..for example stat-c is one digit field..if stat-c is 'D' then the a row is deleted from table and written those details in to a file. If the stat-c is 'U' then a row is updated (hardcoded what to update)in a table and written those details in to a file. If the stat-c is 'I' then a row is inserted in a table and written those details in to two files. The issue is i have to include the intermediate commits. When an abend occurs, due to commit statement db2 tables will be saved, But there will be lose of file contents. When we resubmitting the job associated with this program there will be insert ,update and delete anomolies to avoid that what measures could be taken?. The intermediate commit is nothing but issuing commit after massive inserts, updates and deletes(sum of 500actions)
