Hi all, We are developing a web based application. The database (INFORMIX of course ) resides on an HP 10.2 m/c and we are establishing a connection to the database through an ODBC driver.Generraly for C, 4GL applications we export the DBCENTURY flag as "C" in the application start up script to make the database y2k compliant. But in this case there are no unix files executed (most probably) on the HP box and it looks like the application is not Y2k compliant. Do you have any idea whther any file is executed on the UNIX side when we connect to a databse through a driver where we can export the DBCENTURY flag or any other way round!! Any help would be apprecitaed . we are in deep deep trouble Thanks Pushan
