Informix Error -2035: The WORDWRAP attribute, if specified, should apply to all the columns in a join.
Cause and resolution
The WORDWRAP attribute, if specified, should apply to all the columns in a join.
Ignore this message. It applies to a feature of PERFORM (joins) that 4GL does not support.
Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance
Reasons / Common Causes
-2035 is flagged by the official text itself as safe to disregard — per the official guidance, it concerns a PERFORM-specific feature (joins) that 4GL doesn't support at all.
- A PERFORM-specific join/
WORDWRAPinteraction, per the official guidance's own framing — not relevant to 4GL forms.
Solutions / Resolution
- Disregard this message, per the official guidance's own explicit note, when working in 4GL — the underlying PERFORM join feature it concerns doesn't apply there.
Examples
N/A
No specific triggering statement is documented — the official guidance itself says to disregard this message in a 4GL context.
Diagnostic Checks
- Confirm whether the form is being compiled for PERFORM or 4GL — per the official guidance, this message can be disregarded outside genuine PERFORM-join usage.
