ROLLBACK database tables

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I need some help on Rollback

I have a header table and an Item table

First data is inserted in Header table and then the related item records are updated in Item table

Assume a scenario where the Header records gets updated successfully and the item records

insertion fails for some reason

So in this case the header records should be rolledback , please give some inputs on this

Thanks

Chandra

Your header and item updates would be one LUW (logical unit of work). Once everything is done without errors, you send a COMMIT WORK. Before that, you can use ROLLBACK WORK to undo the changes to the header table, should there be a problem with the items update.

Thanks Thomas

Can you please let me know how can we make the 2 tables as one LUW as i am new to this

Do we have to maintain it at database level or program level

Thanks

The keywords I mentioned are ABAP statements, the LUW logic is inside your program code. Check the online help for these keywords in the ABAP editor, it's all being explained there.

Hi,

You may write your code in the following fashion:

 
INSERT zhead FROM TABLE i_zhead.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
   INSERT zitem FROM TABLE i_zitem.
   IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      ROLLBACK WORK.
   ENDIF.
ENDIF.

Firoz.
