Informix Error -23110: An error occurred during environment variable processing.
Cause and resolution
An error occurred during environment variable processing.
The GLS initialization function encountered an error while it was processing the list of environment variables. The environment variables are read onto a stack for further use by various internal functions. The environment variable values are read either from resource files or directly as shell environment variables. While the GLS initialization function was processing these values, it might have been encountered the following exceptions: end-of-file, not-found, illegal-value, unknown-value, null-value, max-path exceeded. Any of these exceptions can cause this error. Check the semantics and contents of the defined environment variables.
Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance
Reasons / Common Causes
-23110 fires when the GLS initialization function hits an error processing the environment-variable list — per the official guidance, possible exceptions include end-of-file, not-found, illegal-value, unknown-value, null-value, or max-path exceeded.
- An end-of-file, not-found, illegal-value, unknown-value, null-value, or max-path-exceeded exception while reading environment/resource-file values, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.
Solutions / Resolution
- Check the semantics and contents of the defined environment variables, per the official guidance.
Examples
N/A
No specific triggering statement is documented beyond one of the six named GLS exceptions.
Diagnostic Checks
- Review each locale-related environment variable and any referenced resource files for the six documented exception conditions.
