AUTO; WRITE and AUTO; WRITE&CLEAR
Rejecting an Automatic Entry
A transfer to a Standard or Table Component will be rejected in the following cases:
$ Where the value of MAINT is the same as GLB.ADD, and the record already exists
$ Where the value of MAINT is the same as GLB.CHG or GLB.DEL, and the record does
not exist
AUTO; WRITE&CLEAR
The AUTO; WRITE&CLEAR command performs the additional function of clearing the
Automatic Entry buffer.
Caution (MCP based LINC Systems only)
If an AUTO; WRITE or AUTO; WRITE&CLEAR command creates a duplicate record
on a Profile defined with Duplicates Allowed set to N, the write will fail and the
transaction will be aborted.
External Automatic Entries
For External Automatic Entries the AUTO; WRITE command transfers information from
the Auto Entry buffer of the sending Ispec, to the input buffer of the destination Ispec in
the external LINC System.
Requirements
The destination Ispec must have the Automatic Entry field set to Y on the Ispec Options
screen for the LINC Specification of the LINC System that is performing the AUTO; WRITE
command. This enables the information for the destination Ispec to be assembled
correctly.
The LINC Specification of the sending and destination Ispecs must be identical.
AUTO; WRITE&CLEAR
The AUTO; WRITE&CLEAR command will only clear the Auto Entry buffer if no data is
returned to the buffer, in which case it will clear the buffer regardless of the setting of
GLB.ERROR. If data is returned, the action is identical to an AUTO; WRITE command.
External Automatic Entries are not supported in LDA Run Time.
OLTP Automatic Entry
As for any external Automatic Entry, use the AUTO; WRITE and AUTO; WRITE&CLEAR
commands to send an OLTP transaction containing data you have set up in the Auto Entry
buffer.
