Active transaction

Active transaction : Boolean

ParameterTypeDescription
Function resultBooleanReturns False if the current transaction is suspended

Description

The Active transaction command returns True if the current process is in transaction, and this transaction is not suspended. It returns False if there is no current transaction, or if the current transaction is suspended. A transaction can be suspended using the SUSPEND TRANSACTION command.

Since the command will also return False if the current process is not in transaction, you may need to check using the In transaction command to know whether the process is in transaction.

For more information, please refer to Suspending transactions.

    Else
       ALERT("The current transaction is active")

 End if
