Re: Informix version
Vadim Loevski needed to find the Informix version and then got error -23101 'Unable to load locale categories' running dbaccess. A reply suggested dbaccess -V. Jonathan Leffler said -23101 usually means INFORMIXDIR points somewhere without a valid gls subdirectory; Neil Truby added it can also happen on Linux with newer Client SDKs. Not confirmed solved.

You don't say which version of informix or platform. I use
dbaccess -V
for V7.31 on Solaris from command line.

Hi,
I am not familiar with Informix but need to know the version of
Informix that we use. Is there a system table that I can query to get
this info ? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for reply.

That usually means $INFORMIXDIR (or %INFORMIXDIR%) is pointing to
somewhere without a valid gls sub-directory -- as opposed to being
unset. (Or, INFORMIXDIR is unset, and the default directory for
INFORMIXDIR exists, but it does not contain the gls sub-directory.)

... or you're on Linux and you've installed one of the newer Client SDKs.
