Informix Error -1239

Reasons / Common Causes

-1239 fires when the given era offset falls outside the valid range for the specified era — per the official guidance, each era in a GLS locale has its own valid offset range.

1. An era offset larger than what the specified era's own valid range allows, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Check that the era offset is within the valid range for the era that is specified, per the official guidance, correcting it if not.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented — check the era offset against the valid range defined for that specific era in the active GLS locale.

Diagnostic Checks
