It means you (or Informix) can run onlog to examine in the logical logs. Once they had been freed you could not examine them. Hence I would make it harder for Informix to work out what been happening... This (and a lot more useful information) is in the release notes.. check the files under $INFORMIXDIR/release.

Any hints? Seems like either a) The 6.04 is not correctly installed. Remember Tools then Engine. b) An enviroment variable is set pointing towards an old version of 4GL and that is where you are picking up the .h files from, check no environment variables are set that contain the word INCLUDE (CCINCLUDE, INCLUDECC, something like that). c) You are doing c4gl -I<path> where path point to an old version of Informix .h files. d) a bug in 4GL >=======================================================================Boris >Niyazov Ph: 212-854-4094 >IT Department Fax: 212-316-2623 >Columbia Law School Email: ban5@columbia.edu -- David Williams
