Informix Error -4375: The page length is too short to cover the specified page header and trailer lengths.

Cause and resolution

The page length is too short to cover the specified page header and trailer lengths.

Examine the statements in the OUTPUT section and in any HEADER and TRAILER clauses. The total of lines used by these statements must be sufficiently less than the specified page length that some detail rows can be printed.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-4375 fires when a report's header and trailer statements consume too many lines relative to its specified page length — per the official guidance, the header/trailer line total must leave enough of the page length for at least some detail rows.

The combined header/trailer line count leaves too little (or no) room for detail rows, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.

Solutions / Resolution

Examine the statements in the OUTPUT section and any header/trailer clauses, per the official guidance, and reduce their line count, or increase the page length.

Examples

Checking the page length setting

OUTPUT
  PAGE LENGTH 10
  PAGE HEADER
    PRINT "Line 1"
    ...
    PRINT "Line 9"
  -- -4375: 9 header lines leaves almost no room in a 10-line page

Corrected

OUTPUT
  PAGE LENGTH 66
  PAGE HEADER
    PRINT "Line 1"
    ...

Diagnostic Checks

Count the total lines used by the header and trailer sections, and confirm the page length leaves sufficient room for detail rows.
