I'm having a similar problem to which I posted a couple of days ago. I received 1 response saying my problem was a coincidence to another problem in 4gl. Since I'm NOT using 4gl I think NOT... I was hoping someone (hello informix), would say something about the limits, if any, when dealing with large strings. I can get by the "core dumps", in my sacegos, by making the char() size smaller; and, in my sperforms by removing some attributes (reverse,format=mm/dd/yy). >When I run this report program after selecting about 200 records, >I got this error message from the standard engine sites (on Online, >it did not fail.): > >Program stopped at "-----.4gl", line number 345. >SQL statement error -565. >Cannot read sorted rows. >System error number -101. >ISAM error: file is not open.> >I wrote a C function to concatenate that string above and it went >through this C function but got core dumped on the next string >concatenation, and then the next string concatenation, etc. How large is/are the string(s) defined in your report?

I too did this and its very frustrating. You spend alot of time trying to figure out what's wrong with your program and it turns out being a bug with Informix.
