Use the fetch function with the connection object to import data from a database in one step.

In prior releases, you wrote multiple lines of code to create the cursor object, import data, and determine the field size of a specified column number. For example:

curs = exec(conn,sqlquery);
curs = fetch(curs);
results = curs.Data;
colsize = width(curs,1);
close(curs)

Now you can import data in one step using the fetch function.

results = fetch(conn,sqlquery);

There is no replacement functionality for the width function.
