Saccente <<Bellcore Yes, our ESQL/C reference book Chapter 6 "C Functions in ACE and PERFORM". We are running 2.10.03 and have done functions in ace reports, to update the database after a report is complete. See page 6-15 of the ESQL/C for a sample function program. Ace functions work a lot like the perform functions. Compile the functions with cace instead of cperf. cace programname.ec -o programname Compile the .ace report as usual. saceprep acereport.ace then run: programname acereport Cheryl Gross Red River Army Depot cheryl@redriverad-emh1.army.mil (903) 334-3518
