Informix Error -33062: Missing ENDIF.

Cause and resolution

Missing ENDIF.

An IFDEF or IFNDEF statement has no matching ENDIF statement prior to the end of the source file. Work upward from the end of the file, and check that each IFDEF and IFNDEF statement is paired with a matching ENDIF. Possibly the ENDIF was not recognized due to another error.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-33062 fires when an IFDEF/IFNDEF has no matching ENDIF before the end of the source file — per the official guidance, possibly because the ENDIF wasn't recognized due to another error.

  1. An IFDEF/IFNDEF with no matching ENDIF in the file, per the official guidance — the direct cause.
  2. An ENDIF present but unrecognized because of another error, per the official guidance — an indirect cause.
Solutions / Resolution
  1. Work upward from the end of the file, checking that each IFDEF/IFNDEF is paired with an ENDIF, per the official guidance.
Examples
N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond a missing ENDIF.

Diagnostic Checks
  1. Check every IFDEF/IFNDEF in the file for a matching ENDIF, working from the end of the file backward.
