ESQL/C insert statement problem

Path: emory!wupost!uunet!mcsun!uknet!dircon!uaa1006 From: uaa1006@dircon.co.uk (Peter Miles) Newsgroups: comp.databases.informix Message-ID: <1991Dec05.192501.13636@dircon.co.uk> Date: 5 Dec 91 19:25:01 GMT Organization: The Direct Connection, UK The manual for Informix-Esql/C (Version 4.0) says that if you have a structure defined as follows... $struct foo { char name[20]; char address[20]; char phone[20]; } bar; ...you can use the following statement to add a record to a table... $insert $foo into customer; (where customer is the table name). However, when I try this, I get the following compile time error: Syntax error on keyword or symbol '$'. (sqlhost.y) I assume the '$' being complained about is the one on the $foo part of the statement. However, removing the $ gets ... Syntax error on identifier 'foo'. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? -- Pete -- Pete Miles uaa1006@dircon.co.uk ...uknet!dircon!uaa1006
