Hi all,
in previous versions there was an ODBC header file in the dsinclude folder under each project.
I now notice on a 8.5 installation that this file is no longer there.

does that mean that we can no longer use a Basic routine/job control to use the DS Basic language to connect and utilize the odbc connection to the DB ?

Thanks for your time

$INCLUDE UNIVERSE.INCLUDE ODBC.H

The UNIVERSE.INCLUDE location has been available since version 1.0.

Not saying it wasn't.
A few (maybe more) versions back there was also an odbc.h under the include main directory.
Now I seen its a miss from that location

So have you found it elsewhere?

back in the old days (not V1 but V 4.2.1)
I had the ODBC.H in the regular include directory
maybe it was a version fluke
