It should read: $DECLARE q_curs CURSOR FOR SELECT col1, col2, col3 INTO $colvar1, $colvar2, $colvar3 FROM tablename WHERE col1 = $var1; Please notice, I did say that the select itself compiled correctly when the DECLARE section was commented out. Another important thing to mention is that all the source code we are now having problems with compiles correctly under version 4.0 on our DEC/Ultrix VAX. It is only on our Sun, with the new versions of Informix, that we are having problems. Just in case it matters, we are installing, in the following order, these products: I-SQL 4.11.UC1 I-4GL 4.11.UC3 ESQL/C 5.02.UC6 Informix-SE 5.02.UC7 Thanks for your help, Viktor Kaufmann viktor@mgr.hjf.org
