I assume that there's a set of quotes missing from 'WITH FORM "m_main_form"'; if not, then you need to verify that m_main_form is a string variable with a valid value on both machines... > Can we do something to return the correct status > on the second machine? I cannot immediately think of a circumstance where a core dump is an acceptable response to an syntactically valid OPEN WINDOW statement. That strongly suggests that there is a bug. Report it to Informix via your support channels. The I4GL version should be 7.20.UD1 or thereabouts, even if your engine is 7.24.UC5. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
