Thanks, Dave. >D.Maddison@kid0112.wins.icl.co.uk We had so many incompatibilites with 6 compilers that I abandoned it. The problem seemed to lie in the INPUT areas which have been re-written. A bug fix only fixed some of them. I believe there are further bug fixes but not for my release of OS (9.04). I don't fancy upping OS and Informix releases together. I did that once and never again. PLEASE Informix could we have a 4gl compiler for DSA engines based on 4.11 interpretation of 4GL. Ian
