To >my knowledge, >18 character identifiers are only supported in 9.2... That's what I heard, 7.31 is a bug fix release. We had Datec 2000 (the UK Informix distributor) on the phone today. We ordered 7.31 on 5th March which is the same date it came out! We reckon 5 more working days and I should have a copy to play with.... Watch this space... -- David Williams
