Stored Procedures and 4GL

[Ahmer Sajjad]

Hello,

I am using Informix 7 se database.

Is it possible to call a 4GL program from a stored procedure?

Thanks

You can call shell scripts and other programs from within SPL (including 4gl Executables). Something like:

system ("echo /usr/project/bin/executable.4ge")

Simple example - YMMV - but it should point you in the right direction.
