Defining a Transaction

A transaction can span one HTML block, multiple HTML blocks, or multiple macros. When you specify that you want the macro to be persistent within a transaction, you need to define the start and end of the transaction, as well as which HTML blocks are included in the transaction. Net.Data provides built-in functions that help you complete the following persistent macro tasks:

• Starting a Transaction
• Specifying the Macro HTML blocks in a Transaction
• Ending a Transaction
• Defining the Scope of a Variable in a Transaction
• Specifying COMMIT and ROLLBACK in a Transaction
