The <var>Transaction</var> class is a collection of [[Notation conventions for methods#Shared methods|shared methods]] that
allow control of transactions, specifically global transactions.

There are no <var>System</var> or <var>Transaction</var> objects, per se.
That is, you cannot instantiate an instance of a <var>Transaction</var> object,
nor assign references from one variable to another, nor are there any
instance-specific methods in this class.
You can, however, declare objects of the <var>Transaction</var> class.
The main use of such objects is to provide a short-hand way of referencing the class:
<p class="code">%sys is object system
%tran is object transaction
...
%tran:setGlobal(%xid, $view("JOBNM"))
</p>

All <var>Transaction</var> class methods are shared methods, so they are invokable via their class names:
<p class="code">%(transaction):setGlobal(%xid, $view("JOBNM"))
</p>

==List of Transaction methods==
The individual <var>Transaction</var> methods are summarized in [[List of Transaction methods]].
