Well, *I* know about this one: l, *I* know about this one: char message[255]; EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION; char *mp; int messlen; EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION; mp = message; EXEC SQL get diagnostics exception 1 :mp = MESSAGE_TEXT, :messlen = MESSAGE_LENGTH; This *should* write the error message into "message[]"; in fact, it only writes the first four -- actually sizeof(char *). Technically, this is bug in ESQL/C, not Informix itself, but it bugs the heck out of me. Plus, I can't get ODBC to work on AIX at all... M.
