Informix Error -1167

Reasons / Common Causes

-1167 fires when FMP (IBM Informix 4GL/RF) receives a form name it doesn't recognize — per the official guidance, this is a name-resolution problem at the FMP level, distinct from -1110's client-side "form file not found" condition.

1. A form name passed to FMP that doesn't match any form FMP actually knows about, per the official guidance — no further application-level detail is given beyond directing to the installation documentation.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Consult the installation documentation for your system, per the official guidance.
2. Verify the form name being passed matches an actual, compiled form, the same general check as -1110's resolution, but at the FMP-communication level rather than the client OPEN FORM statement.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented — this is an internal FMP name-resolution condition.

Diagnostic Checks

1. Check the form name being passed to FMP against the actual compiled forms available.
