No. The UNLOAD verb is a dbaccess/isql/4GL built in. It is not available in ESQL/C. However, if you also have I4GL (the compiled version) you could write a 4GL function to do the unload and then call it from ESQL/C. The alternative is to format and output the rows using "C" constructs, ie printf etc. Art S. Kagel
