If you use Informix Embedded SQL/C (structured query language embedded in C) their pre-processor allows you to mix SQL with C. Each SQL statement is preceded by $. You generally include a few Informix headers with $include statements. Could you have been looking at ESQL/C code? It might look something like: $include sqlca.h . . . int get_stock_no(name) $string name; { $int i; $database bar; $select stock_number from item_table into $i where item_name = $name; $close database; return i; } -- Dave Levenson Westmark, Inc.
