ROLLBACK WORK 
Short Reference
Syntax
ROLLBACK WORK.
Effect
The statement ROLLBACK WORK closes the current
SAP LUW and opens a new one.
This cancels all changes requests made by the current SAP LUW. To do this, ROLLBACK WORK carries out the following actions:
-
Executes all subroutines registered using PERFORM ON ROLLBACK.
-
Deletes the registrations of all subroutines registered using PERFORM ON COMMIT.
-
Triggers an internal event in the Object Services that makes sure that the attributes of persistent objects are initialized.
-
Deletes all update function modules registered using
CALL FUNCTION ... IN UPDATE TASK from the VB... database tables and deletes all transactional
remote function calls registered using
CALL FUNCTION ... IN BACKGROUND TASK|UNIT from the database tables ARFCSSTATE and ARFCSDATA.
-
Removes all SAP locks set in the current program for which the formal parameter _SCOPE of the lock function module was set to the value 2.
-
Triggers a database rollback that also ends the current
database LUW.
After the statement ROLLBACK WORK is completed, the event TRANSACTION_FINISHED
from the system class CL_SYSTEM_TRANSACTION_STATE is triggered, whereby the parameter KIND has the value of the constant CL_SYSTEM_TRANSACTION_STATE=>ROLLBACK_WORK.
Notes
-
All open database cursors
in the database connections concerned are closed during ROLLBACKs, which
means that a runtime error occurs when the system attempts to continue a SELECT
loop after a ROLLBACK. For the same reason, a
FETCH after a ROLLBACK on the cursor that is now closed also causes
a runtime error. Make sure that cursors that are still open are no longer used after the ROLLBACK.
-
After a ROLLBACK statement, sy-subrc is always
zero. You do not need to query whether sy-subrc is not equal to zero after ROLLBACK.
-
ROLLBACK must not be used during the
update
(CALL FUNCTION ...IN UPDATE TASK) or during the execution of subroutines
that were registered using PERFORM ... ON COMMIT or PERFORM ... ON ROLLBACK.
-
The statement ROLLBACK WORK must not be executed in units or LUWs that are managed by
transactional RFC calls (bgRFC, tRFC, or qRFC).
-
The ROLLBACK WORK statement is executed implicitly if a
message of type A is handled
by the addition error_message when calling a function module with CALL FUNCTION.
Exceptions
