OnLine 5.x does not support dbspace-level restores, let alone database-within-dbspace restores.

No. But I attach some code and a manual page that gives you a C implementation that could be given an I4GL-callable interface with a minimum of difficulty. } How can I get the list of fgl_xxx function and their description ? Manuals? I've not checked, but there aren't all that many. } Q3 : } ==== } Where i can obtain the software : sqlcmd } (a freeware SQL command interpreter from Sam Leffler) Maybe I should change my name by deed poll. http://www.iiug.org/software/ Yours, Jonathan Leffler (johnl@informix.com) #include <witticism.h>
