Informix Error -16325: Missing or extra parameter.

Cause and resolution

Missing or extra parameter.

You omitted or repeated a command-line option. Repeat the command after you check the description of the fgldb command in the Debugger manual.

This message also appears if you attempt to pass parameters to the program that is being debugged. The correct way to give command-line parameters to the subject program is to include them with the run command when you start the program.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-16325 fires when a fgldb command-line option is omitted or repeated — per the official guidance.

  1. A fgldb command-line option omitted or repeated, per the official guidance — the first named cause.
  2. Parameters passed directly to the program being debugged on the fgldb command line, per the official guidance — the second named cause; these belong with the run command instead.
Solutions / Resolution
  1. Check the description of the fgldb command in the Debugger manual, per the official guidance, and repeat the command.
  2. Pass parameters to the subject program via the run command after starting the Debugger, per the official guidance, rather than on the fgldb command line.
Examples
Passing program parameters on the fgldb command line
$ fgldb myprogram arg1 arg2
Corrected
$ fgldb myprogram
> run arg1 arg2
Diagnostic Checks
  1. Check the fgldb command line against its documented options, and move any subject- program parameters to the run command.
