Hi, Does anyone know how NULL/Blank Informix dates are stored. I have a sample data file and the 4 byte integer containing a NULL Informix-Date has it's highest bit set to one (0x80000000). Is this always the case, or do other storage formats for NULL/Blank Informix-Dates exist also (like 0x00000000) ? Thanks, Guy ------ guy@easysoft.com Easysoft Ltd, Leeds, UK www.easysoft.com
