Hello Tracy, I installed IDS 7.31.UC2 at Waco. We had to do this to place replication in. I originally had similar problems. You need to watch the size of your instance. SCO has a problem with a large section of memory. We have opened a case with Informix about this and they are working on it. You can get exact size of SHMVIRTSIZE from Chuck, but I think it is a little over 200,000. Harry, Happy Y2K, sorry we won't meet at New Orleans.
