RE: Question!!
As I've stated in an earlier post that Informix 4GL is poor when communicating with the unix OS. However, 4GL provides the fgl_getenv internal function which returns a character string which is the value of the specified environmental variable:
main
define
scratch char(80)
let scratch = fgl_getenv("LOGNAME")
dispay scratch
end main
I guess you could create your own IP environmental variable out of 4GL.
You also could run a shell script from 4GL, redirect the output of the script to a file, in 4GL, load the file into a temp table, and read the contents of the temp table into a 4GL table - a real cludge!
And as I said in the earlier post, there's always my "C" method for interfacing with the OS. See the FAQ in the Informix Online forum.
