Hi everyone:

I'm hoping that somebody can help me. We are running jBase 4.1.6.7 on
HP/UX B.11.31

I should also note that we are not currently using Transaction
Journaling, although we do plan to shortly.

I'm going to start to describe my problem with a little code snippet:

WRITE Record ON SomeFile, ItemID SETTING ResultCode ON ERROR do
something

If SomeFile happens to be read-only, then ResultCode will be set with
a value indicating failure and the ON ERROR clause in the WRITE
statement will get executed.

However, if the WRITE statement is defined within a Transaction
Boundary such as

TRANSTART SYNC ELSE do something
WRITE Record ON SomeFile,ItemID SETTING ResultCode ON ERROR do
something
TRANSEND ELSE do something

then the SETTING and ON ERROR clauses in the WRITE statement do not
execute. The ELSE clause in the TRANSEND statement executes, which I
would expect, but it does not provide any indication as to why the
transaction failed; only that it did fail.

Now, I used a read-only file in my example simply because it is an
easy condition to reproduce. I encountered this situation in real life
with a file that got corrupted during a stress test of our QA Web
Service, and the jBase backend of the service started to throw errors
indicating that the TRANSEND statement had failed. Nothing more, even
though all WRITEs that occur are done using SETTING and ON ERROR
clauses to throw the proper error codes for the backend application to
interpret. I had to investigate all of the files that are written to
before finding the culprit.

On to the actual question... Is there something that we may have done
in our configuration or elsewhere that is causing jBase to behave in
this fashion? Is this a bug in jBase, or is this simply the designed
behavior? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
