I have read the release notes and the user guide and the relevant sections in the reference manuals and am still unclear as to the nature of *UNIX* permissions that are required to run their software. As you may guess even after people have sent me suggestions for which I am grateful I have still not had luck in making the permission problem go away. I am now even more confused than before since dbschema seems to report correct "user" permissions on the relevant tables but when a user starts up the application as them selves all querries return empty. weird... Can anyone at informix supply a defacto description of constraints that must be in place in order for the software to function as advertised? -thanks -dennis P.S> The following seems to be a bug if you compile with -a option of c4gl... function foo() define tmp array[10,5] of integer define i integer for i = 1 to 10 initialize tmp[i,1] to null let tmp[i,2] = 1 let tmp[i,3] = 2 ... end for end function The array bounds checks that are generated for the initialize statement are incorrect for the first index, they use a limit of 5 instead of 10. Solution if you initialize multi-dimmensional arrays don't enable array bounds checking. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If it bleeds then we can kill it. |Dennis Vadura -- Aaaarnold |dvadura@plg.uwaterloo.ca ===============================================================================
