Check: 1. You have /etc/termcap file and it is readable by informix 2. Check your INFORMIXTERM env. variable. 3. Check you have in /etc/termcap an entry for your terminal And the variable for terminal name is TERM (not TERMINAL). set TERM=vt100 export TERM Hope it helps, Octav Phill Edwards wrote: >When I run dbaccess I get the error "The type of your terminal is >unknown to the system".
