Suppressing output from ISQL statements and LOAD in ESQL

I'm using ISQL vers 6.0 running under SCO UNIX 3.4. I have a UNIX script that calls an ISQL script that contains the statement LOAD FROM filename INSERT INTO tablenameI get the output "x rows loaded" which I want to suppress. So... I tried the -s option, and I still get the screen output. Then I tried redirecting the output from the UNIX script. Nogo. So I though I'd give up on this and write a short ESQL program to do the load. Unfortunately, "$load from filename insert into tablename works as expected in an ISQL script but brings up a systax error in ESQL As all I need to do is suppress output, can someone advise? Thanks in advance, Kate
