Re: Problem with CURRENT function

First: There have been lots of problems with the current lately in 4GL. At least some version 6.xx on SCO has given junk in values when current is used. Informix has apperantly changed what function they call to get the current date and time. From the wording of your release notes (and similar information for other machines) current should allways "work". That is it should return a usable value. The problem is only to what precision. If your application depends on the precision in some way (fraction(3) is to the nearest millisecond) it may of course not work properly. This is of course hard for Informix to solve if there is no way on your machine/os to get the current date/time to that precision. Whatever happens current must allways be supported, and shall never give junk data back. Any other answer from Informix must be a communication error between you and Informix support.
