(OP)
Everybody:

Since Informix 4GL is going the way of Cobol, I decided to post a function FAQ.  No sense reinventing the wheel.  Here's a synopsis:

ret_day()      # takes a date and returns a three character day
replace()      # replace in string occurrences of old pattern with new pattern
is_online()    # returns true if the database is online else false
row_locked()   # tests the sqlca.sqlerrd[2] variable to check if record locked
squeeze()      # squeezes out all the spaces in a string
squ_any_char() # squeezes out a particlar character from a string
