DBCOMMIT= n

Syntax Description

n

is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

Details

DBCOMMIT= affects update, delete, and insert processing. The number of rows that are processed includes rows that are not processed successfully. If you set DBCOMMIT=0, a commit is issued only once (after the procedure or DATA step completes).
If the DBCOMMIT= option is explicitly set, the engine fails any update that has a WHERE clause.
SAS data sets cannot be rolled back. Therefore, for SAS data sets, this option has no effect. However, if explicitly set, the engine still fails any update that has a WHERE clause even though the value that is specified has no effect.

To apply this option to an individual table, use the DBCOMMIT= data set option.
