Yes, I get the idea, but I'm too dim to grasp what useful processing can occur on the returned string. Without a key to tie the record back to the database, I'm stumped. Not the first time though! <g> Anyway, David Morris posted some very illuminating code snippets on using the SQLDA to the MIDRANGE-L list on 3 Oct 1997. I think that would be a great place to start your exploration. I'd love to hear how it turned out.
