Informix Error -35215: Undefined host variable or parameter: name.

Reasons / Common Causes

-35215 fires when a reference is made to a host variable or procedure parameter that was never defined — per the official guidance.

1. A reference to a host variable or parameter that doesn't exist, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Define the host variable or parameter before referencing it, or correct the reference if it names the wrong identifier — the official guidance names no further specifics beyond the undefined reference itself.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond a reference to an undefined host variable or parameter.

Diagnostic Checks

1. Search for a declaration of the named host variable/parameter — if none exists, either add one or correct the reference.

• -35205 — "Parameter parameter name already defined." The opposite problem: a parameter name used twice rather than never defined.
• -35221 — "Character string parameter cannot have an OUT mode." Another parameter-related restriction.

A reference was made to a host variable or parameter that was never defined — define it, or correct the reference.
