Informix Error -8054

Reasons / Common Causes

-8054 fires when a string literal doesn't fit in the compiler's remaining string-table space — per the official guidance, identical strings are only stored once.

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

Solutions / Resolution

1. Reduce the length or number of strings in the report specification, per the official guidance — note that identical strings are already deduplicated automatically.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond string literals exceeding the compiler's remaining string-table space.

Diagnostic Checks

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