This sounds good, and looks pretty straight forward but it just doesn't work. Problem #1... The setup_break() function doesn't have a return(0) which causes your 4gl code to die (easily fixed though). Problem #2... Even though the rsqbreak() function sets int_flag to 1, by the time you check it in the 4GL code, it's 0. Anyone have any clues??? Anyone from from Informix (Alan, Johnathon)??? BTW, I'm running Informix-4GL 1.10.03J. If I can get this working, you'll be seeing "db4glgen-3.5" real soon :-) DAS -- David A.
