Hi all

I am new to Jade, so please forgive my ignorance.

Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to test whether you are in a transaction state? I am using Jade 6, single user mode. Basically, I'm updating someone elses code, and they have not consistently used theirbegin Transaction and commitTransactions in get/set methods. I'm getting
lots of exceptions (and I don't know how to deal with them using handlers yet!), so I need to create a simple test to see whether it is in the middle of a transaction as I go. I have looked through all the help manuals and the developers guide, and haven't come up with anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Lynn Evans

the following snippet of code checks transaction state.

if process.isInTransactionState then
// in transaction state
else
// not in transaction state
endif;

but I suggest you read the following http://www.jadeworld.com/downloads/Jade ... 030604.pdf

You might benefit from writing a pair of methods, eg goTrans using the snippet below to ensure you are in transaction state, and endTrans to ensure you are not in transaction state.

Thank you both for your help - it all worked, and I'm a happy little vegemite now!
I have downloaded that doc too, and will read asap.

Much appreciated
