I have the knowledge - 4 years 4GL 2.1- 6.02.UC1/SE 2-7.11.UC1/Online 4.0-7.13.UC1 (Just got to help debug a problem today!!) but I can't get certified!! "Dave....you should be certified!" "I would but they won't let me!!" PS It would be nice if Online 7.13 and up was released with OPTCOMPIND set to 0 not 2. We had it allocate 3 extra virtual shared memory segments and then fail with "Out of memory for query processing" with every query done. Nobody could do any queries after the recent upgrade from Online 7.12 at that was to stop assertion failures. "I know queries still fail but at least Informix now does abort!". -- David Williams
