Informix Error -1152

Reasons / Common Causes

-1152 is a variant of -1103/-1301 used specifically by IBM Informix 4GL/RF on handheld terminals with limited screen space — per the official guidance, it's the same underlying INCLUDE-list validation failure, just worded more compactly for small displays.

1. A value entered outside the field's INCLUDE-defined list or range, per the official guidance — the same direct cause as -1103, occurring on a 4GL/RF handheld terminal.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Enter a value within the field's defined INCLUDE list or range, per the official guidance — see -1103 for the full detail on this validation mechanism.
2. If the value should genuinely be valid, review and update the form specification's INCLUDE attribute for that field, the same fix as -1103.

Examples

N/A

This is the 4GL/RF handheld-terminal wording of -1103's condition — see -1103's examples for the underlying INCLUDE-attribute mechanism.

Diagnostic Checks

1. Check the field's INCLUDE attribute in the form specification, per -1103's diagnostic approach.
