Informix Error -822: Statements are already saved.

Reasons / Common Causes

-822 fires when a Save is attempted on the current SQL statement, but it's already saved under the name shown at the top of the screen — per the official guidance, this message is noted as no longer occurring on current versions, so it's documented here primarily for historical/older- platform reference.

1. A redundant Save attempted on a statement already saved under its current name, per the official guidance — the condition this message described on platforms where it applied.

Solutions / Resolution

1. No action is needed if the statement is already saved as intended — per the official guidance's framing, this reflects a redundant save attempt, not a failure requiring a fix.
2. On a current server version, this message isn't expected to occur at all, per the official guidance's own note — if encountered unexpectedly, that's itself worth documenting when escalating, since it contradicts the documented current behavior.

Examples

N/A

This is a redundant-action notice rather than a fault requiring a worked example.

Diagnostic Checks

1. Confirm the statement is genuinely already saved under the intended name, per the official guidance's description of the condition.
