The
problem is in your TERM environment setting. What OS are you running
under?

Hi.
We use Informix on HPUX and Linux.
For dbaccess to work we need to define the TERM variable:
$ export TERM=ansi
You can put this line in your .profile or somewhere else.
For correct video visualization, we also use an ANSI terminal emulator; if you
use another term emulator (wyse60 for instance) you'll get wrong video data on
your session.
Hope to help.
