You'd have to export or dump the dBase files as a CSV >(comma separated value) file, then use either dbaccess's LOAD >statement or the dbload command to load the data. Perl Modules are your friend. :) You should be able to use Xbase.pm to access the DBF files, and the Informix DBD to update the Informix database. Xbase.pm http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/Xbase This is a module for perl 5 that allows easy xbase like access to xbase DBF files and Foxpro IDX (index) and FPT (memo) files.
