Initializing the System for Updates

Before you perform any routines that add, delete, or modify the records in a file, you must initialize the system for update processing by performing the U@AUDITBEGIN routine. Do this once in the initialization code of your program. At the end of program execution, you also need to commit the transactions and close the update processing mode by performing U@AUDITEND. If you do not perform this call, any changes made to the database during this transaction state are rolled back. For more information on these two calls, see U@AUDITBEGIN and U@AUDITEND.
