Do you want to prompt for some input from the user or just display some text on the screen? To prompt for input, you should wrap your SQL within a shell script. To simply display something on the screen, use select and literally embed your message within quotes and use some table in any database on the server. Hope that helps, Arun Florin Micle wrote: > Can I prompt a message on the screen from within a sql script for Informix? > Is there any statement that can do this?
