Re: INITIALIZE 250 variable limit

Informix support reports that there is a 250 }variable limit on INITIALIZE in both 4.0 and 4.1 RDS and compiled, }so it officially shouldn't be working (as it does).

The 4.12 code has the restriction removed. It's bug 21002. Yours, Jonathan Leffler (johnl@informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h>
