Depending on which version of Informix you are using, your best bet would be to use DBEXPORT.

It also has the advantage of being able to write directly to tape. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Kane Internet: bob@worms-emh2.army.mil (IP 134.235.9.2) TechDyn Systems Voice: (049) 6241-75936 (GERMANY) CMR 421, BOX 706 Fax: (049) 6241-500154 APO AE 09056
