RE: unknown error 4076

We are using Informix 4GL 6.0 I don't think I'm using CAST expression (like atoi() or any others in C) ? Or maybe, am I trying to do something that internally using CAST expression ? But any way, I'll check it out to ensure that I'm not using CAST expression. Thank you, -- garnadi ============================ > On Mon, 15 Feb 1999, Garnadi wrote: > > I have an mysterious message.

If you're getting the unknown message, it probably means your installation is not quite correct, and that you are using the i4gl programmer's environment to do the compilation. If you used the c4gl command line to do the compilation, you would not get the error message. Somehow, your 4gl.iem error message file got corrupted (overwritten) with a version that does not contain message +4076. So don't spend time on CASTs. Do think about copying 4gl.iem off the I4GL distribution media into $INFORMIXDIR/msg. > > On Mon, 15 Feb 1999, Garnadi wrote: > > > I have an mysterious message.
