Yes, it works in practice (especially since a failed DBUPDATE does not
require a DBXUNDO as of MPE/iX 5.0).
 
That said, do you have NetBase? A programmer here tried a program with
dynamic rollback against a NetBase'd database, and promptly caused a system
abort. He wasn't sure it was his program :( so he ran it again when the
system was back up. He discovered it was indeed his application. That was
under MPE/iX 4.0; I don't know which version of NetBase.
