Problem compiling forms
Posted in 1995
Hi folks, I've come across an interesting problem trying to build a Makefile for some PERFORM screens for a project. I'm running INFORMIX 5.02 on an AT&T GIS (NCR) 3455, UNIX SVR4. I'm using the form4gl command in the Makefile to compile the PERFORM screen, with the -q option, which eliminates the INFORMIX version header from appearing on the screen. Here's an example of a command line: form4gl -q person.per When compiling several screens, I receive the following warning message in a .err file (Note: the column names are different, according to the tables and columns that are being accessed): # # The column "name_code" joins with other columns, but it is not # indexed. It is recommended that columns be indexed for cross-table # queries. Performance will be much improved by creating an index # on the column. # See error number -2970. The manuals that I have indicate that error -2970 is an obsolete function that is no longer available, and can be ignored. Unfortunately, it causes a bad exit code, which in turn forces the Makefile to fail. Should this warning be ignored? If it can be, is there an option to the form4gl compiliation command that will suppress warnings? So far, I haven't come across any in the manuals that I have, though my set is incomplete. Any info/hints would be greatly appreciated. Lou Avrami ( attmail!lavrami )
