I'd use the version of ESQL/C corresponding to the engine, which would be a ClientSDK release; choose 2.20 or 2.10, whichever is available. 2. When it hangs, how long does it hang for? If it is less than about a minute, then you probably haven't timed out, yet. If it is over 10 minutes, then there's a problem. In between, you can debate what's going on -- or wait another ten minutes. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
