Informix Error -1322

Reasons / Common Causes

-1322 fires when the file named in a REPORT TO statement can't be opened — per the official guidance, this can be a permissions problem, a full disk, or an open-file limit.

1. The account lacking write permission for the target file/directory, per the official guidance — the first named check.
2. The disk being full, per the official guidance — the second named check.
3. The account having exceeded a limit on the number of open files, per the official guidance — the third named check.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Check that your account has permission to write such a file, per the official guidance.
2. Check that the disk is not full, per the official guidance.
3. Check that you have not exceeded some limit on the number of open files, per the official guidance.

Examples

Checking permissions, disk space, and open-file limits

$ ls -ld /path/to/report/dir
$ df -h /path/to/report/dir
$ ulimit -n

Diagnostic Checks

1. Check write permissions on the target path.
2. Check available disk space.
3. Check the current open-file count against the account's limit.
