Re: Why doesn't Informix understand my terminal type

Hi: Phill, I don't want to insult your intelligence, but the variable is TERM, not TERMINAL. O.K. Let's assume your using TERM and the problem is still with you. What do you have INFORMXTERM set to? The two values allowed are termcap or terminfo with the default being termcap. Well if INFORMIXTERM isn't set or is set to termcap, the TERMCAP variable needs to be set to a valid termcap file and your TERM value must have a valid entry in this file. If you have any questions, give email me. regards, Ed Schaefer Phill Edwards wrote: > When I run dbaccess I get the error "The type of your terminal is > unknown to the system".
