Is there a way to write an sql query at a % prompt? The only way I know how is to go into isql.

You have to make an aliases.rc file.
It should look like this
alias alter "echo 'alter !:*;' | $INFORMIXDIR/bin/isql $DB"
alias create "echo 'create !:*;' | $INFORMIXDIR/bin/isql $DB"
alias delete "echo 'delete !:*;' | $INFORMIXDIR/bin/isql $DB"
alias drop "echo 'drop !:*;' | $INFORMIXDIR/bin/isql $DB"
alias grant "echo 'grant !:*;' | $INFORMIXDIR/bin/isql $DB"
alias insert "echo 'insert !:*;' | $INFORMIXDIR/bin/isql $DB"
alias rename "echo 'rename !:*;' | $INFORMIXDIR/bin/isql $DB"
alias revoke "echo 'revoke !:*;' | $INFORMIXDIR/bin/isql $DB"
alias select "echo 'select !:*;' | $INFORMIXDIR/bin/isql $DB"
alias update "echo 'update !:*;' | $INFORMIXDIR/bin/isql $DB"
alias info "echo 'info !:*;' | $INFORMIXDIR/bin/isql $DB"
Then at a prompt type
$INFORMIXDIR/bin/isql $DB << EOF (the $DB is the name of your database).
Then after your sql type EOF to end.
