Hi buddies,
I have a cursor declared with the 'with hold' option.Now my program abnormally terminates which means that commit is not issued.Could you please tell me the status of the cursor?Will be in the open status?Can I restart the program so that the cursor will fetch the next eligible record from db?If the cursor is in open stage even after the abort where db2 will store the cursor pointer?What happens if a roll back is issued while aborting?
I faced these questions in an interview.Emphasis was on the significance of 'with hold' option in the restart logic.Experts please have a look on it..
Thanks,
Hari. |

Hello and welcome to the forum,
When a process terminates (ends/abends), all cursors cease to exist. . . |

What cursor, it disappeared with the abend.

As above, no.

Isn't that the usual default, rollback upon abend?

AFAIK, the HOLD option applies across commits, not abends. |

the 'with hold' option has nothing to do with restart logic.
you got lost at that point. |
