Re: Error -406 problem

Hi, usually the reason for error -406 is that some DLL can not be found. Make sure that not only INFORMIXDIR occurs in the PATH variable, but also INFORMIXDIR\\bin. In some informix versions only INFORMIXDIR is set in the path during installation. Another possible reason is a wrong setting of environment variables. For example, I had a -406 because the environment variable DB_LOCALE was not set correct. So, check the settings in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Informix\\OnLine\\CurrentVersion\\Environment and under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Informix\\SQLHOSTS\\... I never found a reason for error -406 that has to do with memory problems.
