Write the C function. The functions to be defined in the C program must be declared in the report spec file in the define section. ( Call the function where needed in the report. ) Compile and link using the shell script called cace. A customized version of sacego is created by cace. I have not used this feature but have seen references in the following: 1. INFORMIX-ESQL/C Programmer,s Manual Chapter 6. "C Functions in ACE and Perform". 2. Data Processing in UNIX by R. S. Tare (McGraw-Hill) Chapter 6.2.12 "Interfacing C Functions" -- Art Cooper AT&T Bell Laboratories att!ihlpk!wd9aet 708-979-3049
