I am using INET on the Mac running os 7.5.1 and connecting to ISTAR on the HP9000/832 HP-UX server running Informix Online 5.0. The Mac sw using INET is BrioQuery. One of the problems so far is dates. Nothing shows in the date column in the BrioQuery queries. I have set the environment parameter in Apple:Control Panels:SetNet called DBDATE to mdy2/ but it doesn't seem to matter. I start the Star deamon in /etc/rc.local as follows: INFORMIXDIR=/la/informix: export INFORMIXDIR SQLEXEC=$INFORMIXDIR/lib/sqlturbo; export SQLEXEC $INFORMIXDIR/lib/sqlexecd I thought that maybe I should have set the DBDATE here also so I added the following line after INFORMIXDIR=... DBDATE=mdy2/; export DBDATEbut I haven't been able to reboot the Unix box to see if this changes anything. I did kill the sqlexecd process and restart it with the above environment variables set but this made no difference. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Dick
