Element <write>

The <write> element commits the modifications made to the current record into the database.

Its behavior depends on the <parm name="mfn"> setting of the parent task:

• If mfn is New, a new record is added.
• Otherwise, the existing record specified by the argument is updated.

Usage

• Allowed content: Text (Lock mode) or <pft>
• Parent element: <update>

Syntax

<write>LOCK_MODE</write>

Arguments (Lock Modes)

The content of the <write> tag determines the locking state of the record after saving:

• Unlock: Stores the record and unlocks it immediately.
• Lock: Stores the record but keeps it locked.
• NoUnlock: Stores the record, keeps it locked, and the lock information remains unchanged.
• Delete: The record is logically deleted from the database.

Example

<do task="update">
   <parm name="db">CDS</parm>
   <parm name="mfn">New</parm>
   <field action="define" tag="1102">Isis_Status</field>
   
   <update>
      <field action="add" tag="1">One more</field>
      
      <write>Unlock</write>
      
      <display><pft>ALL</pft></display>
   </update>
</do>
