Since ACE is the ISQL report writer, I'm going to point out that you can write custom pieces of C and link them into the ACE runner. You build a custom runner using cace. >And let's face it, it's hardly a revolutionary idea is it? No. It's a facility that has been available since ISQL 1.10, the first commercial release. -- I suspect I'm deliberately misreading Stuart's comment -- I think the thread is referring to reports in I4GL. There you can call functions (C or I4GL), but you can't code PRINT statements in anything except the body of the report itself. Yours, Jonathan Leffler (johnl@informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h>
