I find myself more and more using the old Informix idump utility v4.0 (from 1989) and I was not supplied with any documentation. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on the documentation that covers idump and related tools? For some reason there are no man pages either and IBM doesn't seem to have any downloadable documentation on these utilities. Thank you, Chester

You can get my ul.ec utility in the package utils2_ak from the IIUG Software Repository. Full source so you can expand/modify it if needed, but it can export and import binary table dumps (actually the results of a query). Art S. Kagel
