RE: 4GL length() core dumping in 7.30.UC5

I came across this just last week. There might be a library dependency issue here. I called Informix and the recommendation was to change the library dependency order in the c4gl script. I believe that the old line was: $INFORMIXC +z -Wl,+s -DASIAN -I$ITOOLS -I$IESQLC $A -L${LIBDIR} $STATLIBSUB1 $SHAREDLIBS $STATLIBSUB2 $GLSLIB $MLIB $OLIB The line was changed to : $INFORMIXC +z -Wl,+s -DASIAN -I$ITOOLS -I$IESQLC $A -L${LIBDIR} $SHAREDLIBS $STATLIBSUB1 $STATLIBSUB2 $GLSLIB $MLIB $OLIB No problems after that. As it is with changing anything, test and document. If you'd like, have Informix reference call# 220849, just to make sure that all is well.

I've run into a problem with the 4GL function length() -- it core dumps every time! It doesn't seem to matter what the parameter I pass to it is, if I call length() I core dump. I assume this is a problem with the 4GL component, which is 7.30.UC5. I don't have 24x7 informix tech support otherwise I'd be calling them right now, but I thought I'd see if anyone has run into this problem. Just FYI I'm installing a very large bit of software that has many portions written in 4gl, and of course we use length() calls all over the place. You never realize how often it's used till it stops working :) Also FYI this problem is NOT happening on another hpux 11 box with 4gl 7.30.HC5P1 installed. Anyone seen this? I'm hoping Informix recognizes it off the bat when I call them in the morning... Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/
