 SAVEPOINT
 
 Usage Notes
   ■ Transactions are a way to group a series of ISAM operations so that
     you can commit them as a whole, rescind them all, or rescind operations
     since a designated savepoint. Use BEGINTRANS to indicate the beginning
     of a transaction and COMMITTRANS to commit all operations since the
     beginning of a transaction.
 
   ■ Use the ROLLBACK statement to rescind some or all ISAM operations in
     a transaction and return the data to its initial state.
     See: ◄ROLLBACK Statement►
 
   ■ If there is no transaction pending when you use SAVEPOINT, Visual Basic
     generates the error message, "Illegal function call."
