Open post to any Informix people who may be listening: The CONSTRUCT statement in 4gl is the best thing ever. Only when you try to re-create a similar functionality in another database do you realize how great it is. Once users have been given this powerful tool, it is almost impossible to get them to accept a data screen that does not include it. As you may have guessed, I am currently faced with providing Query-By-Example (Query-By-Form) functionality in a system written in something other than 4gl. I just wanted to spend a little bandwidth to congratulate Informix on a job well done. Thanks, rodney
