- Well, it is, in a way. The answer to your second question is,
- "does the name of the function appear in the index of the 4GL manual?"
-
- If not, the function is not supported. Barring a documentation error
- of course ...:-\ That is the case with this function. So even
- if you find out what it does, it isn't safe to use it. Why? Because
- Informix feels free to change that interface at any time without
- warning -- leaving your program up the creek.
-
- What is it you want to accomplish?
