RE: Informix 4GL SMALLINT variables

Isn't a uninitialised var in 4gl = to NULL. ? A bit off the subject, but might be related In a Informix SE raw file a small int 0 means value of zero -32768 means NULL. In ESQLC short i16 = 0; i16 = ldint((*src)); if (risnull(CSHORTTYPE, &i16)) printf("NULL") else printf("%d", i16); -----Original Message----- From: Rekaish Bhardwaj [SMTP:RekaishB@compans.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2000 10:56 AM To: 'IIUG' Subject: Informix 4GL SMALLINT variables Hi, can anyone confirm that SMALLINT variables, if uninitialised, take on the value of 0 (zero).
