Frank: Let's take this discussion offline. Reach out to me via email ( art.kagel@gmail.com ) and send me your ONCONFIG file for me to look over. Also, what release of Informix are you using on what platform? Also the release of dostats you have to more than 9 years old. The current release is 1.92 which you can download as part of the utils2_ak package from my web site: My Utilities Art ------------------------------ Art S.
