hooking external 'C' functions to IDL [message #5922]

I am currently working on a program that uses an IDL gui interface to access
an external database (Sybase) that contains various data needed for analysis
and display. I need to go through 'C' to access the database. I would be
getting back an array or arrays of data. From what I've seen, CALL_EXTERNAL
can only return discrete data values. Do I need to use the LINKIMAGE routine
to get back arrays of data? Or am I missing an option for the CALL_EXTERNAL
procedure that would allow me to do this?

Any help would really be appreciated!
