In most cases the Informix error codes are very good at explaining why there is a problem and how to fix it. However, if you don't have access to finderr then you are in trouble. This site was put together to help our engineers when they need to quickly check an error code and don't have command line access to a server.

The error codes detailed are those from the 9.20 IDS install CD. So some errors are missing, the Optical subsystem breakdown for example. If you want these included you will need to email over the relevant msg file a and they will be processed and included.

The list of contents is based on an old 7.20 manual and some cross-referencing by ourselves, there doesn't appear to be cross reference for the error numbers any more. If you know where there is one please let us know.
