C Code to Access and Modify C-ISAM files on AIX 4.1

Hello, We have an IBM laptop running AIX 4.1 with Tetra T2000 accounting software installed. Part of this software are C-ISAM files with their definitions. Does anybody have any sample C code that will allow us to read and modify these C-ISAM files? We are competent in C, but by no means experts, so a helping hand would be well appreciated. Thanks in advance, - Richard Minnis -

Richard, I strongly recommend getting hold of Informix Standard Engine. Unfortunately, you can only download this from www.iiug.org for Linux or Windows, so you will need to buy it from IBM for AIX. You can then use the Tetra "genschema" tool to create SQL scripts to build the required system catalogs, linking in the actual data files afterwards by updating the path column in "systables". You can then download Client-SDK for free from IBM and install ESQL/C, which is massively easier than using C-ISAM directly. I have done all this ad nauseam in the past if you need a hand. -- Regards, Doug Lawry www.douglawry.webhop.org "Richard" <rminnis82@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > We have an IBM laptop running AIX 4.1 with Tetra T2000 accounting > software installed.
