- Report and Update Functions

By default, automatic commits are scheduled on completion of a committable Report or Update cycle. At any given time, there is at most one committable Report or Update cycle, defined as the least-nested Report and Update cycle in execution with file specifications. Since it is not currently possible to define a Report or Update without file specifications, LR/LU1 is always the committable Logical Report and Logical Update cycle.

The following exceptions apply:

An automatic commit occurs after a file is cleared.
An automatic commit will also occur at the end of the function. Note that this differs from completion of cycle, which would be bypassed by an FNEXIT statement in logic.

				Automatic commits will occur
Clear	FILE2	FILE4		after each file is cleared

Cycle[1]
read	FILE1	FILE2
	Cycle[2]
	read	FILE3	FILE4
	write		FILE4

	Cycle[3]
	read	FILE5
		Cycle[4]
		read	FILE6
		write	FILE6	Automatic commit will occur
	write	FILE5		on completion of Cycle[1] and
write	FILE1	FILE2		when the function ends

Cycle[5]	(called)
read	FILE7	FILE8
write	FILE7
