$TRESTART

M[UMPS] by Example

Introduced in the 1995 ANSI M[UMPS] language standard.

The value of this variable identifies the number of transaction restarts that has occurred for the current transaction.

TStart ():TRANSACTIONID="Demo"
If '$TRestart Do
. ; Initialize only once
. Quit

Whether a restart occurs because of an explicit TREstart command or because the system encountered consistency problems while processing a TCommit command, the special variable $TRestart is incremented each time a transaction is restarted.

If $TRestart>20 Write "Problems..." TROllback Quit
If a transaction encounters too many restarts, there probably is a reason that can only be resolved externally.
