There is no existing provision for doing so. Nor is there really any reason for it -- it talks pcode, not 4GL. It's mainly used by us folks who need to catch the pcode compiler doing naughty things. [-: -- I found it invaluable when changing the runners to accept 2- or 4-byte attribute pcodes without gagging, for example. BTW, I'm talking strictly about character-based 4GL; 4GL/Windows and NewEra may have added pcode opcodes of their own, making, say, a pcode generated from those environments unreadable by our runners or the decompiler. -- Alan Denney aland@informix.com "Even in Washington, they're really getting the Thanksgiving spirit.
