Using INFORMATION in UPDATE procedure

[Pete Foulkes]

Here's a thought for you regarding user prompts in Update procedures.

If the idle timeout options in the QKGO setup are implemented (I can't
remember offhand exactly what they're called) and the user isn't present to
acknowledge the response required, then I believe that the update procedure
will get rolled back if the timeout is invoked. It certainly used to (on
Unix, at least.)


Thanks
