This uses up most of your sec. :-( I've never noticed it doing this! In fact, NOT doing this used to be a problem but in tools 4.1 (possible 4.0) onwards there is a possible undocumented shell variable 'DBESCWT' to control this behaviour. Or maybe it's just *your* version of Informix that does this! -- ============================================================================ Sally Woolrich | This mail contains my personal sally@excelsis.demon.co.uk | views not those of my employer! ============================================================================
