Cause and resolution

Unmatched END statement-name statement.

This message indicates an IBM Informix ESQL/FORTRAN preprocessor error. An END STRUCTURE/UNION/MAP statement does not have a corresponding STRUCTURE/UNION/MAP statement. Check that each END STRUCTURE/UNION/MAP statement is paired with a corresponding STRUCTURE/UNION/MAP statement and try again.
