I have a WFW 3.11 app that read/writes BLOBS to a Informix 5.x Online engine using ESQL/C 5.01WE1 for Windows. The documentation for ESQL/C say that if you pass in a -1 for your uffer size on a fetch Informix wil allocate a buffer and return the size and a pointer to this buffer. When does Informix actually release this buffer or is it up to my app? Thanks --terry
