What the #{!! is going on!  We were told that Text data types (and
Binary as well) could be vi'd from ACC*LL.  Well, after attempting to 
test this great feature, we found that Text and Binary data types only 
exist under ENTER(UN*FY), not ACC*LL.  This feature was to be a major 
requirement of our system.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to submit a work around
(using 4GL, CHOOK, or whatever works)  for vi'ing a file and placing the
contents of the file in a TEXT or BINARY data type.  We would do this
ourselves, but we are on a tight schedule, since we just received ACC*LL and
must "prototype our system in days".

We've called Tech support (and are still waiting for the return call), but
are interested in other methods that may be available.

Thanks in advance,

Chuck Droukas & Dean Brunette
