Hi

I am facing some problems with 4JS programmes. I am working on a project, for that I have used 4JS as front-end and Informix 9.2 as back-end. Currently in my project the name of database is hard-code with DATABASE statement in all 4JS programme i.e.

DATABASE bank

In this situation if I am changing the database name then I have to modify all the programmes accordingly .

I am not very expertise in 4JS, So please suggest me how I can pass the database name as parameter or by setting some environment variables like

C:\>SET DATABASE=bank

or any other method so my programmes become flexible to use the database of different names.

Please give me your valuable suggestion.

Thanks and Regards
Arvind Kumar

I haven't used the 4J products yet, but with our RDS system, we simply pass arguments to the program, and capture them within the program be reading the arg_val() set.

For example,entering at our UNIX command line (for an RDS program);

fglgo my_program bank

within our program we define a variable;

let db = arg_val(1)

then run within the program a statement as such;

database db
