Re: User interface to access C-ISAM files

You may use hd to dump the file. Also not good, but usefull sumtimes. 3. You might install the Informix SE database on top of your C-ISAM files and use it's utilities. This assumes you have only C-type variables as data in your C-ISAM files. If they are COBOL type, or some other data it is much harder. (Create the database in a separate directory with the tables defined exactly like your C-ISAM files. Then remove the table files (*.dat and *.idx) and replace them with links to your C-ISAM files. Be careful with updates via SE.) Other than that I don't know. Nils.Myklebust@ccmail.telemax.no NM Data AS, Postbox 9090, Gronland, 0133 Oslo, Norway My opinions are those of my company
