Informix Error -22276: Floating point variables are not allowed.

Reasons / Common Causes

-22276 fires when a floating-point variable is declared under a COBOL compiler that doesn't support them — per the official guidance.

1. A floating-point variable declared under a compiler without floating-point support, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Use a non-floating-point numeric type instead, per the official guidance's implication, or switch to a compiler that supports floating-point.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond declaring a floating-point variable under an unsupported compiler.

Diagnostic Checks

1. Check whether the in-use compiler supports floating-point types, and use a different numeric type or compiler if it doesn't.
