Dormant Connections in a Single-Threaded Environment

In a single-threaded Informix® ESQL/C application (one that does not use threads), the DORMANT option makes the current connection dormant. Using this option makes single-threaded Informix ESQL/C applications upwardly compatible with thread-safe Informix ESQL/C applications. A single-threaded environment, however, can have only one active connection while the program executes.
