Informix Error -4476

-4476 Record members may not be used with database column substring. Possible

This statement has a reference of the form name1.name2[...]. This is the form in which you would refer to a substring of a column: table.column[...]. However, the names are not a table and column in the database, so 4GL presumes they refer to a field of a record. Inspect the statement and determine what was intended: a reference to a column or to a record. If it is a column reference, verify the names of the table and column in the database. If it is a record reference, verify that the record and component are properly defined. If the record has the same name as a table, prefix the name of the table with @ to make it clear you mean the table, not the record.
