You may also want to look at the field sqlerrm in sqlca structure. A typical example would be rgetlmsg(code, message, sizeof(message) &len) where code is the SQLCODE in case of error, message is a buffer to hold the error message returned by informix, len is the length returned by informix. After this you can say printf(message, sqlca.sqlerrm); Hope this helps Satish ---------------- V.R. Satish Satish@twinsun.com
