Nice to see IBM is still as reliable as ever :) BTW, I submitted an email to the website feedback as a complaint (which also was not easy to find). Maybe it'll get fixed. Off to search iiug, informix zone, other places where the 11.70.xx5 manuals might be. If anyone can help more immediately then thanks. PP.

Yeah, the link on the info centre to the other page works. The second page where the actual manuals come from doesn't. I've tried it with my IBM customer login which isn't linked to a PPA account ATM. Still no joy. Surely manuals are free still. Link seems to be of the format with 'shop' in it hence I ask. http://www.ibm.com/shop/publications/order?CTY=US&FNC=SRX&PBL=SC27-3526-05 e.g. Most recent PDF publications Documentation sets to download (PDF) Found most of the info I needed in a Redbook. Would be good to have a manual set at hand.
Hi peter, PDF link does not work and also they expect us to feedback IBM website. Just leave it download pdf version. It seems to me that IBM not promoting Informix database.
