Informix Error -8052: There is insufficient space in the compiler string table for the storage of CHAR variables.

Reasons / Common Causes

-8052 fires when CHAR variables in a report specification exceed the compiler's string table capacity — per the official guidance.

1. Too many, or too long, CHAR variables, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Reduce the length or number of character variables in the report specification, per the official guidance.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond CHAR variables exceeding the compiler's string-table capacity.

Diagnostic Checks

1. Count and total the length of the report's CHAR variables, and reduce them if the compiler's string table overflows.
