Re: Dbaccess output formatting

The SQL language says nothing about how to format data returned from a
SELECT statement. That sort of facility is provided by the INFORMIX
I-SQL report writer and ViewPoint products.
I would venture to suggest a small amount of control in dbaccess would be
advantageous, but this might impact sales of the other products.
