Informix Error -16362

-16362 No current function.

No current 4GL function exists if you have not yet invoked a RUN or CALL command. Even after RUN or CALL, no current function exists if execution terminated normally, rather than being stopped by a breakpoint, by an Interrupt or STEP command, or by a fatal error. Use RUN or CALL to begin or restart program execution.
