I believe the programmers manual to be an extension to the 4gl/SQL manuals which deals with Online variations to the standard Informix SQL/4gl syntax. I always check there when I can't find what I'm looking for - that is assuming I know that it can really be done. Current manuals that I have seen (4.10) include syntax for all things to all peoples with little blocks denoting engine or language specficities. I hope that this is a planned feature and not an aberration. Got to orientate yourself to this stuff. cheers j. _____________________________________________________________________________ Jack Parker - Contractor |"Is it weakness of intellect birdie" Hewlett Packard, BSMC Boise, Idaho, USA|I cried, "or a tough little worm in jparker@hpbs2561.boi.hp.com |your little inside", with a shake of (208) 396-5388 (W) (208) 384-1623 (H) |his head he sadly replied: | "Oh willow, Oh willow, tit willow". _____________________________________________________________________________ Any opinions expressed herein are my own and not those of my employers. _____________________________________________________________________________
