Informix Error -4602: No 4GL program by specified name found.

Reasons / Common Causes

-4602 fires when the Application Builder can't locate a named multi-module 4GL program in the program database — per the official guidance, this differs from -4600/-4601/-4603 in that it's a program database lookup rather than a filesystem file lookup.

1. The program name was misspelled, per the official guidance — the named cause.
2. DBPATH has changed since the program was defined, per the official guidance — a different program database may now be in use than when the program was originally defined.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Check the spelling of the program name.
2. Confirm DBPATH still points to the same program database the program was originally defined in, per the official guidance.

Examples

Checking DBPATH against the expected program database

$ echo $DBPATH

Diagnostic Checks

1. Check the program name's spelling, and confirm DBPATH hasn't changed to point at a different program database than the one the program was defined in.

• -4600 — "No form by specified name found." A related lookup failure, for .frm form files rather than a multi-module program.
• -4601 — "No 4GL module by specified name found." A related lookup failure, for a single .4gl source file rather than a multi-module program.
• -4603 — "No executable 4GL program by specified name found." A related lookup failure, for module.4go executable files rather than the program database entry.

A named multi-module 4GL program couldn't be found in the program database — check its spelling and confirm DBPATH still points to the expected program database.
