IDS 11.70 dbaccess generates Illegal character msg

Greetings, We are experiencing an issue in our environment periodically where dbaccess generates a SQL -34389 "Illegal character has been found in the input string" error. This does not occur regularly but occurs every once in a while when invoking vi through dbaccess. We are running Informix version 11.70.FC7GE on RHEL 6. You lose any text typed into the editor when this occurs. Has anyone else experienced this issue or has insight into the cause? Thanks, Bob

Bob, I have never seen this before, a little info might offer a clue. What is the value of $CLIENT_LOCALE What is the output of locale What do you get from :set fileencoding when you invoke vi this way -- Gerry Cousins HCL Technologies From: <ids-bounces@iiug.org> on behalf of BOB KRUSE <bob.kruse@starwoodhotels.com> Reply-To: "ids@iiug.org" <ids@iiug.org> Date: Thursday, November 30, 2017 at 19:55 To: "ids@iiug.org" <ids@iiug.org> Subject: IDS 11.70 dbaccess generates Illegal character msg [40315] Greetings, We are experiencing an issue in our environment periodically where dbaccess generates a SQL -34389 "Illegal character has been found in the input string" error.
