Re: HELP on open text file in read/write mode

I think you may not be able to read/write from/to a file directly with the existing 4GL functions, you can make use of the C function(s) available under $INFORMIXDIR/demo/fglbe/fglgets.c (used to read a file). I hope this helps, unless you DO NOT want to build a different 'runner'.
