<div><p>This topic lists the possible values for the UPDRULE parameter.
The UPDRULE parameter identifies the update rule for the constraint relationship
between parent and dependent files. The update rule specifies the action the
system takes when it attempts to update the parent file.</p>
<div class="p"><ul><li>*NOACTION (the default value) <ul><li>Record update in a parent file does not occur if there is a matching foreign
key value in the dependent file.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>*RESTRICT <ul><li>Record update in a parent file does not occur if a value of the non-null
parent key matches a foreign key value.</li>
</ul>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The system enforces an update *RESTRICT rule immediately when
you attempt the update operation. The system enforces other constraints at
the logical end of the operation. For example, a trigger program can add a
parent record if one does not exist. The *RESTRICT rule does not prevent the
violation.</div>
