Negative error numbers are normal -- positive ones would be abnormal. -369 Invalid serial number. Please consult your installation instructions. Some error has been made in the installation of your Informix product(s). Check the value in the SQLEXEC environment variable (for database server versions prior to 6.0) and INFORMIXDIR environment variable; then consult the person who installed the software, and review the installation instructions. Something somewhere isn't installed correctly, as it says. Did you enable your ESQL/C installation? It isn't enough to copy it onto the disk -- you also have to licence it.
