Informix Error -50406

Reasons / Common Causes

-50406 is raised by the ixCollection class in the Window Painter GUI builder library — per the official guidance:

The program called setValueStr( ) was called for a NULL or not fully typed ixCollection object. A fully typed and non-NULL ixCollection object is required here. For information on using ixCollection::ixCollection( ) to construct a valid value type, refer to the Standard Class Library Reference.

1. setValueStr( ) for an ixCollection can only be called if the ixCollection is fully typed, i.e., the value to be contained in the ixCollection is fully specified, per the official guidance — the direct, documented condition.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Adjust the calling code to respect the constraint named in the message, per the official guidance — no other resolution is documented.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond the class-library condition described above.

Diagnostic Checks

1. Check the specific value, object state, or call sequence that ixCollection flags here, against the constraint the official guidance describes.
