Re: dynamic ESQL/C question

Version 8.1 of the ESQL/C manual has a section on it on page 10-101. If you don't have the manual you can get a PDF version at the Infomix web site. The section is called "Handling an Unknown Column List". It's a long procedure but pretty straight forward. apatnaik@aircom.com wrote: > I am using Dynamic ESQL/C to read records with an unknown column > list.
