(remaining text deleted) We had a similar problem at this site, but the -4518 error was occurring in a REPORT section, not during input. From what you said in your original message, this could be a new twist on a known problem. The known problem, according to Informix Tech reps is a 4GL crash during a REPORT when using the WORDWRAP and USING clauses. It has been assigned bug #13375 (no projected resolution date). Check your input form & 4GL and see if you're using both the WORDWRAP and USING clauses simultaneously in any respect whatsoever. If you are, and you find that by "commenting out" either or both that the problem disappears, then - run, don't walk to the nearest telephone and report this new twist. I'd appreciate it if you'd e-mail me direct & let me know if this proves to be the case.
