You must issue a successful Begin Transaction operation (19 or 1019) before you issue an Abort Transaction operation.

Set the Operation Code to 21. The transactional interface ignores all other parameters on an Abort Transaction call.

If the Abort Transaction operation is successful, the transactional interface returns Status Code 0. The results of all Insert, Update, and Delete operations issued since the beginning of the transaction are removed from the files.

If the Abort Transaction operation is unsuccessful, the transactional interface returns one of the following status codes:


36	The application encountered a transaction error.
39	A Begin Transaction operation must precede an End/Abort Transaction operation.

The Abort Transaction operation has no effect on any file currency information.
