err: -25572

Hi, I got an error "-25572 Network driver cannot bind a name to the port" when I run the following 4gl: MAIN database stores7@testtcp --connect to stores7 via tcp/ip END MAIN Some related configurations are: INFORMIXSER=test ONCONFIG=onconfig.testuname -a -> sun440 under $INFORMIXSQLHOSTS: test onipcshm sun440 test testtcp ontlitcp sun440 testtcp in etc/services .. testtcp 8666/tcp in $INFORMIXDIR/etc/onconfig.test DBSERVERNAME test # Name of default database server DBSERVERALIASES testtcp NETTYPE ipcshm,1,10,CPU NETTYPE tlitcp,1,10,NET The interesting thing is I can run "dbaccess stores7@testtcp" with no error, and If I change 2nd line in above 4gl to "database stores7@test",the 4gl runs fine. Can somebody give any suggestion? Thanks in advance, Gary

Some version information might help. For example, it appears that you are probably on a Sun, presumably running Solaris rather than SunOS, but which version? Which version of IDS? Which version of I4GL? ONCONFIG is not needed in the environment - that's used by the IDS administration utilities, not by client programs such as I4GL. INFORMIXSER is not an Informix environment variable; I assume you meant INFORMIXSERVER. That DB-Access is working and I4GL is not makes me wonder whether you've got an archaic version of I4GL - there used to be some weird problems in the area of connectivity, hence my questions. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@us.ibm.com) STSM, Informix Database Engineering, IBM Data Management 4100 Bohannon Drive, Menlo Park, CA 94025 Tel: +1 650-926-6921 Tie-Line: 630-6921 "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it!"
