<one for the bug> I just bought a copy of Informix v3.11 for my Altos 68000 and am having a problem with the dbfind function in the C application language library. It doesn't seem to work at all. What I am trying to do is write a small & simple interactive program that checks a file for the existance of a primary key, (type long) writes the key to a text file if it isn't found, and prompts for another value. Sounds simple enough, but it isn't working. I have to be doing something wrong. The examples in the manual really seem insufficient, having only coverage of one-shot string comparisons. This is pretty unsat. Why would anyone go to the trouble of using an application language interface for a one-shot query? Has anyone out there got a C program that does what I am trying to do that I might look at and use as an example? Better yet, is there any kind of book available in English that I might get some useful information from about Informix's ALL? Thanks in advance for any help anyone might give. -Leo -- Leo E.
