I'm tired. What do you mean "make an objective-c call from a Mac OS app"? Are you making an application in objective-c and do you want it to talk to IDS? I think we don't have interfaces in Objective-C. But Objective-C should allow you to embed functions in C or ESQL/C so you could use either protocol... I just don't think that IBM has any objective-c libraries or whatever the name.... So, I don't think this is specific to MacOS or that MacOS is an issue here. Objective-C is. Again, at this hour I may be missing something.... Regards.
