Have *you* looked at the IIUG website? I already answered a similar question from someone else with pointers to the ESQL/C and C++ information there. Also, 7.24 (?7.23) has some built-in support for .ecc files. I'm not convinced that support is complete; it uses the C compiler for linking which is not a good idea when there's any C++ in the system. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
