Hello John, You seem to have a problem with any of the named environment variables. Did You set them correctly, when changing from c-shell to ksh, since ksh uses another syntax to set enviroments. So first have a look, if INFORMIXDIR is set to the path where informix-online is installed (easiest way, just do "cd $INFORMIXDIR"). If this is correct, then You should have a default directory $INFORMIXDIR/msg/en_us/0333, if DBLANG is not set, or a directory $INFORMIXDIR/msg/"locale"/"codepage". For example, if DBLANG is set to "de_ch", then locale is de_ch.
