The database server creates a servicename.exp file on some platforms if any DBSERVERNAME or DBSERVERALIASES uses a stream-pipe connection type. This file is used for handling expedited data, which occurs when the client program issues sqlbreak() or the user enters CTRL-c. The database server removes the file when you take the database server offline. The name of this file is derived from the servicename field of the sqlhosts file or registry.
You do not use the servicename.exp file directly. You only need to recognize that it is a legitimate file when it appears in the INFORMIXTMP directory.
