Example:

Description:

sys.end_task() ends a CISAM transaction. sys.end_task() calls iscommit(). You should read and understand the iscommit() documentation in the CISAM manuals.

Bugs/Features/Comments:

No Nested transactions.

Beware of ENORMOUS log files.

4C will eventually need to accomodate other file systems that allow transaction processing. A new more general call will probably replace sys.end_task().
