This section explains the syntax of the API functions which implement the TX interface. The text in this section is quoted from 5. COBOL Reference Manual Pages which is the syntax reference section of the X/Open CAE Specification Distributed TP: The TX (Transaction Demarcation) Specification published by X/Open Company Limited.

The TX interface has the following API functions:

• TXINTRO - COBOL data structure
• TXBEGIN - Begin a global transaction.
• TXCLOSE - Close a set of resource managers.
• TXCOMMIT - Commit a global transaction.
• TXINFORM - Return global transaction information.
• TXOPEN - Open a set of resource managers.
• TXROLLBACK - Roll back a global transaction.
• TXSETCOMMITRET - Set commit_return characteristic.
• TXSETTIMEOUT - Set transaction_timeout characteristic.
• TXSETTRANCTL - Set transaction_control characteristic.

TX-interfaced API functions whose names begin with TX can be used with UAPs under either the TP1/Server Base or TP1/LiNK.
