Defining Transaction Processing for a Form

To define transaction processing for a form, you must specify the Transaction option on Form Properties in Form Design. This requirement means that all data for the form is committed to the database at the same time.

If a transaction includes a single form, then this is the only action that is required because the form itself is the transaction boundary. However, if the transaction included data from another form, then you must extend the boundary to the applicable form through a form interconnection.

Note: You can also extend transaction boundaries using business functions or table I/O.

To define transaction processing for a form:

Access Form Design.

  1. Double click the form for which you want to access Form Properties.

  2. Click the Transaction Properties style option.
