Re: ESQLCOBOL & 4gl

: }I can't find a reference to the functions fgl_init() and fgl_sigint() : }in my reference manual. Could you tell me what version of the reference : }manual would have this information? : I don't think those two functions are documented anywhere. : However, the routines fgl_start() and fgl_call() and fgl_exitfm() and : fgl_end() are documented. In 6.00, they're in Apppendix C of Informix-4GL : Reference: Volume 2. In the 4.1x documentation, they're on page S-210 ff : in the Informix-4GL Supplement. They weren't available in 4.00. Thank you to all who wrote with the information on calling a 4GL function from a C program. There is a chapter on doing this in the Informix 4GL supplement, version 4.10, pages S-201 to S-212. What I really wanted to do was to call a 4GL function from a Micro Focus ESQLCOBOL program. I have had no luck finding any documentation to indicate that this is possible. What I will have to do is have my Cobol program call a C function, which in turn will call the 4GL functions necessary. Golly! It's sure fun getting a legacy Cobol application to play in the same sandbox as a group of 4GL and C applications using an Informix database. Alison Crichton - Yes, Michael Crichton and I are related (and _tall_) - all Crichtons (and probably Creightons) are related, unless their family took that name, as some former slaves did after the Civil War. I don't think this entitles me to any money from _Jurassic Park_, though. :-)
