Just how it should be ;-) Apart from your stray ?? in the MATCHES, your original problem implies that 7.31 is now counting ? and supplied host variables and complaining if the counts don't match. I hope 4GL does not now consider it wrong to say prepare thing from " .......... ? and ....? and .....?......." open thing using a, b We've got a few critical pieces of code that must run with unmatched counts. It's all because 4GL is so dreadfully un-dynamic when it comes to their datatypes such as records or argument lists - when the code has to be flexible you need to bend the rools in the area of the USING clause.

No - the problem was that an ISO C compiler was interpreting ??- as a trigraph for tilde, and I4GL wasn't making sure it didn't. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2003.04 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
