This flag is used during the first pass (the fglc pass) of the compile. This flag is documented for fglpc but not for c4gl. I have it on good authority that this feature will not disappear as it is an important part of the Informix-TP/ToolKit product. FYI: Informix-TP/ToolKit is a product which allows 4GL programs to interoperate within the Tuxedo and Encina TP environments. Scott Ellard
