If any body else cares to answer please do. I have Unix version 4.10 4GL. For a special project I decided to get 4GL RDS for the PC. I was intending to be able to: 1. Communicate with a called program by using the "run" command and returning a status value. 2. Be able to use the "load" in 4GL. I bought a pig-in-a-poke. I can do neither. I tried using the read ascii technique from the Tech Notes. It does not work on PC 4GL RDS. I can use the "run" command and execute dbload but I have no way to check on the status. Version PC 4gl RDS is 1.10.06/2.10.06E Is this the most current release? Any plans to get load on the PC RDS version? Does anybody have a workable technique for "load" without using C programs? Can I get a refund? Mike Kuhn uunet!rhlab!kuhn -- Michael J. Kuhn c/o uunet!rhlab!kuhn
