Static transactions are currently not supported with Eloquence and DBMEMO has no effect. Eloquence relies on dynamic transactions internally. A future version of Eloquence may add support for static transactions for use with forward recovery or auditing purposes.

DBMEMO(base,text,mode,status,textlen)

base

is the name of the array used as the base parameter when opening the database. The first element of the array must contain the base ID returned by DBOPEN. (Refer to DBOPEN for more information about the base ID.)

The base argument is ignored with Eloquence.

text

is an array of up to 512 bytes that contains user data (ASCII or binary) to be written to the log file as part of the DBMEMO log record.

mode

must be an integer equal to 1.

status

is the name of an array of 10 halfwords in which the database returns status information about the procedure. If the procedure executes successfully, the status array contents are:

Element	Contents
1	If the procedure succeeds, the return status is 0. Otherwise it provides a status code to describe the failure.
2-4	Unchanged.
5-10	Information about the current procedure call and its results.

textlen

is an integer equal to the number of halfwords to be logged from the text parameter, or is a negative integer equal to the number of bytes. Length can be zero.

Notes:

• Static transactions are not supported and DBMEMO has no effect besides verifying the arguments.
