Linux fgl_getenv

[Glen]

Informix Dynamic Server Version 9.30.UC3 on Linux. Do I have to do
something before I can use the fgl_getenv call in a stored procedure? When
I try I get 674: Routine (fgl_getenv) can not be resolved.

fgl_getenv is a built-in 4gl function, I believe...

As John Carlson said, fgl_getenv() is an I4GL function. So, to be
able to call it from a stored procedure, you'd have to create a (C or
Java) UDR which does the right job.

Of course, even if you had it, you'd only get a weird mixture of the
server's own environment and some small portions of the user's
environment - at best. Most likely, you'd only see what the server
had in its environment.

Thanks, what do I use within a stored procedure to get environmental
variables then? A system call to getenv?
