Hi John:<BR>

Yes you can create and call a C subroutine from QUICK.<BR>
<BR>
Lookup all that fun stuff on BUILDEXTERNAL.<BR>

<DIV>Greetings, Listers:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have called external programs from within Quick but it's been some time. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Can anyone please direct me to where I can update my skills per calling subroutines for e.g. TCPIP communication. I have a challenge to see System A passing a data packet/record to System B an OpenVMS system where it will be processed as an Oracle database update. We've got a C program right now but we're spawning each time we pass data and I think, what the hey, we can do it via a direct C call from Quick, no?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I feel 600 users spawning left and right through OS command lines are going to be an issue. And we're just in the design phase.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for any counsel and help.</DIV>
