Recently I came across a piece of code with the PSB is declared with PROCOPT=GOTP. In the application program, the DB is called with GHU. From the PROCOPT declared in the PSB it is evident that we cannot issue REPL call. Whether this GHU call will hold the DB from other transactions even the PSB is not given with the REPL option?

Rubenprakash,

When you have PROCOPT=GOTP, you cannot give any REPL call and when it is not possible to give REPL ,you cannot update.I guess that the GHU call will hold the segment in the DB which will have a lock on the segment retrieved but finally if you give REPL call you might end up in a Status code RX .So even though the REPL option is not given , GHU Call will hold the DB.

Thanks Shekar, The program doesnt have REPL call. But it is fetching the data with GHU. So my question was whether this GHU call can HOLD the DB though the PROCOPT has GOTP. So during this GHU call time other transaction cannot affect this DB?

You can issue a GHU call even the Procopt is G, but any update call may result in AM status code.

The GHU will not lock the record because locking is resolved at the PCB level.
