Don't imagine that posting requests like this to c.d.i. informs "Informix"
as a corporation of your desires. You should call your local sales
representative, and/or your tech support number, and make your request
in a way that can be recorded. If you want a feature then call tech
support and ask to enter a "feature request."
AFAIK, Informix is going to provide the archive verification ability in
the ontape and onbar programs in the next minor release. This is due
out in the Spring, though you should in no way construe that as an
official promise.
See? Informix does listen to customer desires. :)
