OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for ODBC
Programming Considerations : Transactions
 

Transactions

With DataServer operations, an ODBC data source handles its own transaction roll back and recovery operations. However, if the ODBC driver supports transaction processing, the transaction scoping rules apply: a transaction ends when the code exits the outermost block that performs an update. With the DataServer:
*When a transaction that updates an ODBC data source ends successfully, ABL sends a COMMIT to the data source.
*If you interrupt the transaction, ABL sends a ROLLBACK to the data source.
See OpenEdge Getting Started: ABL Essentials for details on how Progress handles transactions and error conditions.
