Informix Error -1160

Reasons / Common Causes

-1160 fires when FMP (IBM Informix 4GL/RF) has reached its limit on the number of simultaneous DISPLAY ARRAY statements it can process concurrently — per the official guidance, this is a platform-specific concurrency limit, the DISPLAY ARRAY counterpart to -1159's INPUT case.

1. The number of concurrently active DISPLAY ARRAY statements exceeding FMP's configured limit, per the official guidance — no further application-level detail is given beyond directing to the installation documentation.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Consult the installation documentation for your system, per the official guidance, for guidance on resolving this constraint.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented — this is a platform-level concurrency limit for the FMP (4GL/RF) runtime.

Diagnostic Checks

1. Check how many DISPLAY ARRAY statements are concurrently active against FMP's configured limit, per the installation documentation for the platform in use.

• -1158 — "FMP has run out of memory." A related FMP resource-limit error, about raw memory rather than concurrent statement count.
• -1159 — "FMP has exceeded its number of concurrent INPUT statements." The INPUT counterpart to this same concurrent-statement-limit condition.
• -1161 — "FMP currently is not in the midst of an INPUT statement." A related FMP-state error, about statement sequencing rather than a concurrency limit.

FMP's concurrent DISPLAY ARRAY statement limit was exceeded — consult the installation documentation for the platform in use.
