Followup: Reading ASCII files from disk into INFORMIX env

Hi netlanders, I wrote in my earlier msg that I am trying to use only INFORMIX 4GL, and unix tools to load from an ASCII file into the INFORMIX environment. From the messages I have gotten so far, it is seems apparent that I didnot make my goal clear. Therefore, let me try to repharse the problem. I have an ASCII data file on the UNIX filesystem, it contains no delimiters, other than a CR/LF at the end of line. I want to perform data validation in the INFORMIX environment, but to do that I need to read the ASCII file from disk in to a single column ( long ) temp table. I want the 4gl program to completely, 100% handle the loading from the disk, into the temp table. This is where I am having the problem, how do I read the ASCII the disk file into the temp table, completely under 4gl control?!?!?! As I said before, I am upgrading to Solaris 2.2, therfore I cannot use a C compiler solution. Please mail me my comments or suggestions and thanx in advance. Andy.
