Hmm...I don't have the original as I managed to get it going...
my exec sql commit; line was misplaced (my error not Michael's).
I apologize for wasting your time...
I am *very* stuck on updates that use a call to gets().
scanf() works fine but...
when I need the usr to give me a string for a record update gets()
behaves oddly. The src compiles and links, connects, queries for a
list of records and then uses printf() to ask for usr input.
At this point, it leaps ahead of the current stanza, inputting a null
into the attribute in question.
I have tried making the call to gets() simple:
char usr_buffer[81];
...
printf("Enter blah blah blah: ");
fflush(stdin);
gets(usr_buffer);
and I have tried allocating memory (and making the usr-buffer var
a pointer...) but this also fails.
Finally, I tried making the call to gets() part of a separate
usr defined function. This also compiled without error but
displays the same symptoms.
I raised this once (or twice ;-) but felt a bit sheepish over
my delete blunder so I didn't really want to push the issue.
Having said that, I do wonder if it really is stupidity on my
part or something Michael could have a look at...?
I will send him my code, off-list...
Thanks alot for your patience Tom, you're quite a guy.
