Informix Error -33022: Include path name too long.

Cause and resolution

Include path name too long.

The pathname in this INCLUDE statement is too long to fit in the internal buffers. Check the punctuation of the statement; possibly an end-quote has been omitted. If not, you will have to find a way to specify the included file with a shorter pathname. Refer to the embedded-language manual for the rules of the preprocessor on searching for included files.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-33022 fires when an INCLUDE statement's pathname exceeds the preprocessor's internal buffer — per the official guidance, possibly because an end-quote was omitted.

  1. An INCLUDE pathname too long for the preprocessor's internal buffers, per the official guidance — the direct cause.
  2. A missing end-quote in the INCLUDE statement, extending the apparent pathname, per the official guidance — a common underlying mistake.
Solutions / Resolution
  1. Check the statement's punctuation for a missing end-quote, per the official guidance.
  2. If the pathname is genuinely too long, find a shorter path to specify the included file, per the official guidance, referring to the embedded-language manual's include search rules.
Examples
N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond an over-length include path.

Diagnostic Checks
  1. Check the INCLUDE statement for a missing end-quote, and shorten the pathname if it's genuinely too long.
