Re: RCS and Informix

In comp.databases.informix you write: > If you put the RCS info in a ##comment line it gets ignored during > the compiling and you can not ident the .4ge file. > You can get around this by: >main > define > rcsid char (100) > let rcsid = "$Header: revision information Exp $" I use SCCS, and I define: DEFINE sccs CHAR(1) LET sccs = "%W% %E%" This is quite adequate. If you assign a string to a char variable, the number of characters copied is (effectively) the short of the defined length of the variable and the length of the string. If you did a concatenation operation, then a run-time error would occur. Yours, Jonathan Leffler (johnl@informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h>
