Informix Error -1312: FORMS statement error number number.

Reasons / Common Causes

-1312 is a wrapper message: it reports a problem with a screen form and embeds a second, specific error number in its text — per the official guidance, that embedded number should be looked up separately and considered in relation to the current statement.

1. A form-processing error whose specific cause is identified by the embedded error number, per the official guidance — -1312 itself is generic; the embedded number carries the actual diagnostic detail.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Look up the embedded error number in the error-code reference, per the official guidance, and address it as its own specific condition.
2. Consider the embedded error in relation to the current statement, per the official guidance, since the wrapping FORMS statement error context matters for interpreting it.

Examples

-- look up and resolve -1102 specifically

Diagnostic Checks

1. Extract the embedded error number from the -1312 message text, and look it up as its own specific error.
