I'd guess you are using a shared memory connection and have run foul of INFORMIXSHMBASE being to low. You could try increasing it, perhaps to 0x80000000 -- or some lower value. Or use a streams or network (olipcstr or oltlitcp) connection. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.62 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
