Need help understanding runners

[NitzGuy]

Hello,
I am trying to compile source files to p-code, however, some files a in c code. I am told I will need a runner to link the c code files to the p code. firstly I have several c files to link, so will I need several runners, secondly, how does the p code recognise the c code runner (how do I link it to the program)?
I have gone throught documentation and examples.
Can someone Please help me.
Thanks

Hi

first thing. You need a C-compiler on your system.

Next you need to compile a customized p-code runner. In the compilation of this p-code runner you will include your c files as part of the compilation. Thus the c-files are compiled into the p-code runner. Therefore you only need 1 (one) p-code runner. To create a customized p-code runner read the manual "IBM Informix 4GL Reference manual Volume 1 Version 7.31" page 1-83 to 1-89. If you need more help just ask!!!

Jason:

Over in the Informix Online forum, check on my FAQ on having Inforix 4GL interact with the OS:

It shows you how to link "C" functions to the runner.
