You got it.

Note that you can also nest TRANSACTIONS upto 5 levels. I often do this when I have a fairly complex update that can be devided into logical batches.

BEGIN TRANSACTION
if not FirstBatchUpdate()
=RevertIt()
RETURN .F. && Early Exit!
endif
BEGIN TRANSACTION
.... etc.
END TRANSACTION
END TRANSACTION

FUNCTION RevertIt()
DO WHILE TXNLEVEL() > 0
ROLLBACK
ENDDO
