My environment in Linux Kernel: 2.6 Glibc 2.3 I have two INFORMIXDIR'S IDS 11.5: INFORMIXDIR=/var/opt/ifx_ids11.5 INFORMIXSERVER=dev_net INFORMIXSQLHOSTS=/var/opt/ifx_ids11.5/etc/sqlhosts $ cat $INFORMIXSQLHOSTSdev_shm onipcshm penguin.fgss.com dev_dummy dev_net onsoctcp penguin.fgss.com dev_srv In: /etc/services: dev_srv 20026/tcp # IDS dev TOOLS: INFORMIXDIR=/var/opt/ifx_732UC4 INFORMIXSERVER=dev_net INFORMIXSQLHOSTS=/var/opt/ifx_732UC4/etc/sqlhosts $ cat $INFORMIXSQLHOSTSdev_shm onipcshm penguin.fgss.com dev_dummy dev_net onsoctcp penguin.fgss.com dev_srv I have both $INFORMIDIR/bin's on my PATH: PATH=/var/opt/ifmx_ids11/bin:/var/opt/ifx_732UC4/bin:... $ type dbaccessdbaccess is /fitrix/ifmx_ids11/bin/dbaccess When I set the TOOLS environment, running dbaccess gives: Unknown error message 32370 I have done this many times. What might I be doing wrong ?

Hi, INFORMIXDIR and PATH must match. You set INFORMIXDIR to IDS7, but your PATH runs programms vom IDS11. One solution for TOOLS (and for server environments, too): Always set INFORMIXDIR and PATH: INFORMIXDIR=..... PATH=$INFORMIXDIR/bin:$PATH Regards, Andreas > ------------------------------------------- SPAR Österreichische Warenhandels-AG Hauptzentrale A - 5015 Salzburg, Europastrasse 3 FN 34170 a Tel: +43 662 4470 84923 Mobile: +43 664 6259575 E-Mail: Andreas.KUTSCHE@spar.at Internet: http://www.spar.at Wichtiger Hinweis: Der Inhalt dieser E-Mail kann vertrauliche und rechtlich geschützte Informationen, insbesondere Betriebs- oder Geschäftsgeheimnisse, enthalten, zu deren Geheimhaltung der Empfänger verpflichtet ist.

The fundamental issue is that dbaccess is not a tool, it is part of the engine in the IDS env. The appropriate tool to use in the TOOLS env is isql (if you have it) else you always need to be in the IDS env unless you are compiling 4GL (which, I assume, is why you have the TOOLS environment).
