Re: C++ strings and host variables

No, not the way you are trying to do it. The key here is that you are compiling with ESQL/C not ESQL/C++ (no such animal). See the C++ interface that is delivered with the SDK for hints at how to use such features. Basically host variables can ONLY be SQL types as defined in $INFORMIXDIR/incl/esql/sqltypes.h. Art S.
