Again, there is an API which is loosely documented, that you can write to. If you have ESQL/C, you will find in the $INFORMIXDIR/demo a directory './cdrapi'. This contains some esql/c programs written to the api. While this isn't supported (yet), I am finding it to be the only reliable method for administering/configuring CDR.
