We're running Informix-SE version 4.00 on DEC station using Ultrix. We currently have 3 databases running: one is live, one is static, and one is for development. I'm writing a program that uses the system tables and I noticed that 2 of these databases defines syscolauth.colauth to be char(3). All the manuals say that this is to be a char(2) field. Does anyone have any ideas why we're getting that extra character? Is this a bug or a feature? Thanks in advance, Richard M. Bennema -- rmbenn@david.wheaton.edu Richard M.
