What are trying to accomplish? If you need to change your $INFORMIXSQLHOSTS or $INFORMIXSERVER and have it affect your current session, then no, you must restart dbaccess. If you just want to attach to a different server, just make sure the other server is available in you sqlhosts file and use SQL: database my_other_database@my_other_server --EEM -----Original Message----- From: ids-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:ids-bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of DYNAMIC INFORMIX Sent: Monday, March 05, 2007 12:43 PM To: ids@iiug.org Subject: Re: How change SO environments by DBACCESS ?

You cannot, but some of what you may be wanting to do can be done other ways. What is it you want to be able to change? General to the list: PLEASE post your problem. Don't ask how to implement the solution you thought of that you can't make work. It wastes bandwidth and almost never gets you the answer you need on the first try. Art S.
