Re: Using Shared Libraries with INFORMIX-4GL

Although I don't know how applicable this is to what you are doing, it might be worth stating that there is very poor (to almost non-existant) support for DataBlades that use shared libraries (especially third-party shared libraries). This seems to be an area where both the Illustra and IUS DataBlade APIs are especially weak. It has been over a year since we worked on this with Informix in the context of IUS, so I don't remember all the details, but I wouldn't expect this type of support anytime soon.
