Question: A COBOL-DB2 program is retrieving multiple rows using a cursor. After processing 10 rows, it abends due to an error. What should you do to avoid reprocessing the same rows when the program is restarted?

Options:
A. Restart the program from the beginning
B. Use a COMMIT after every row
C. Use COMMIT after a fixed number of rows
D. Use ROLLBACK after processing 10 rows

Correct Answer: C. Use COMMIT after a fixed number of rows

Explanation:
Using COMMIT after processing a fixed number of rows (e.g., every 10) ensures that only unprocessed rows remain in the cursor if the program fails. This avoids reprocessing already committed rows upon restart. It's a best practice in DB2 programs handling large data sets with cursors.
