Incomplete error files SUMMARY

THANKS TO ALL OF THOSE WHO RESONDED!! This is what this newsgroup is all about! Summary: .err files only containing a portion of the original file. ------------------------------------------------------------------- - An omitted END IF or END CASE especially around large quantities of code and/or large amounts of nesting. The compiler can get confused and just stop! Solution - Comment out large pieces of code until error stops Then put small amounts of code back until error re-appears. or Code better. - Mis-spelled tablename in the following statement DEFINE fieldX LIKE tablename.fieldname (or record name used instead of tablename) Solution - Same as above. - Missing errmsg file from /usr/informix/msg Solution - Put'em back. - Table(s) not coverted correctly from previous version of product. [This is quoted from Informix (please excuse typos)] error: Assertion failed: file fecat.ec when recompileing. The .err file will contain the source code up to a define reord statement, the rest of the file will be truncated. It does not matter if the records are defined global or local. Looking at the tables with isql with the table info option results in an assertion failed error message. Bcheck returns no errors. Workaround seems to be to unload the table run dbschema -t, drop it and then recreate and load it. - Serving the database on the developement box using Informix 4.10 on an Unisys 6000/65. Solution - Upgrade to 5.03 This last one was our problem. We were getting process aborts on our server, this caused our make to 'just stop' and the Informix compiler to get confused too.
