Difference between commit and commit and wait

[Luca_Cavarretta]

what is the difference between:

-commit

-commit and wait

I need the commit which "saves" everything before moving forward

thank you

The difference is that the latter waits for All asynchronous Update Tasks to be finished before the Code after the commit Statement.

Not very difficult to find the answer in the ABAP documentation: "if the addition AND WAIT is specified, program processing after COMMIT WORK will not continue until the update work process has executed the high-priority update function modules (synchronous updating)."
