AFAIK, all currently released versions have 18, 18, 32767 as the limits.

Try http://www.informix.com/answers and download a relevant PDF file, such as Informix Guide to SQL: Reference. No, it isn't information that is normally considered critical to expose on a web site because most people are not looking for it as an initial criterion for choosing a product.
