RE: Informix 4GL Bug Impacting Datetime Fields

There it was also stated that for my boxes, fractions where not available and therefore set to zero by current. ciao (which in venetian dialect means 'slave of yours', so don't take me too seriously), marco ____________________________________________________________________________ rem radioterapia, which I immeritately manage, seldom agrees with what I say marco greco (Catania, Italy) Work: marcog@ctonline.it rem radioterapia 39 95 447828 fax 446558 (was mar.greco@agora.stm.it) Achea 39 95 503117
