Ok will try the SQL_LEN_AT_EXEC way...

Thanks for the tip, but actually we have to do SQLPrepare() before because
the basic SQL instructions in Informix 4gl are PREPARE, then EXECUTE with
parameter definition and values:

PREPARE s1 FROM "INSERT INTO tab VALUES( ?, ?, ? )"  -- SQLPrepare()
EXECUTE s1 USING var1, var2, var3  -- SQLExecute()

...

Yep the sample is not very nice (sorry for that).

I think the while loop stops because rcode is reset by the line calling 
SQLParamData().

 while (rcode == SQL_NEED_DATA) {

Anyway, thanks a lot for you help.
I really appreciate.
