There are two facilities: RUN statement would allow you to run any program outside the 4GL, including shell commands. CALL would allow you to call any function, if this is a C function which requires arguments to be passed to it you may have to create a rapper round it. -- Compliments of QueriX -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QueriX 4GL Compilers are Informix 4GL Compatible, and Connection to other RDBMS such as Oracle.
