Informix Error -22619: UNION declaration not supported.

Cause and resolution

UNION declaration not supported.

This message indicates an IBM Informix ESQL/FORTRAN preprocessor error. The UNION statement is supported only with Green Hills and Sun versions of FORTRAN that include the VMS FORTRAN extensions.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-22619 is an ESQL/FORTRAN preprocessor error — per the official guidance, UNION is only supported with the Green Hills and Sun versions of FORTRAN that include the VMS FORTRAN extensions.

UNION used with a FORTRAN compiler other than Green Hills/Sun with VMS extensions, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.

Solutions / Resolution

Use a Green Hills or Sun FORTRAN compiler with VMS FORTRAN extensions, per the official guidance, or avoid UNION.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond using UNION on an unsupported compiler.

Diagnostic Checks

Check the in-use FORTRAN compiler, and confirm it's Green Hills/Sun with VMS extensions if UNION is required.

Related Errors / Related Topics

-22617 — "STRUCTURE declaration not supported." The same class of VMS-extension- only restriction, for STRUCTURE rather than UNION.
-22618 — "RECORD statement not supported." The same class of VMS-extension-only restriction, for RECORD rather than UNION.

UNION was used on a FORTRAN compiler that doesn't support it — use a Green Hills/Sun compiler with VMS extensions.
