You have > to have ESQL to do this. I thought you just needed userfuncs.c and make a "new" perform. I only use ESQL/C when accessing the database. Here use getenv("LOGNAME") or getlogin() and pf_putval. Once you get this set up, you can really jazz up your performs. You can use on beginning make some very interesting screens. If you're stuck with perform (not 4GL) I highly recommend using userfuncs.c and a new perform. Good luck! :) > } > } 2.
