Re: C compiler limits

When you say "We DO NOT use C structures," does that also apply to all the other SQL statements and not just CREATE TABLE ? In other words, are there ever any structures in the C code that is generated from the statements INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, ALTER TABLE, CREATE VIEW, RENAME COLUMN, etc ? Is using the DEFINE RECORD in 4GL the *only* time I have to concern myself with the compiler limit to the number of structure members? --- John ---------- John Baker jbaker@bluegrass-emh1.army.mil Directorate of Information Mgt.
