Re: Problems With ESQLC on HP/UX 10.20

William, Your suggestion did the trick! wooo hooo! :-) I tried the "esql -Ae -c" but it didn't work, so when in doubt, hack. Thanks to the lot of you guys who suggested this, but it didn't work. If I see you at the next conference, you get a free beer! :-) Thanks much!!!
