Informix Error -4622: No runable 4GL program by specified name found.

Reasons / Common Causes

-4622 fires when the Application Builder can't run a named program because it's not accessible as a program.4go file — per the official guidance, 4GL looks in the current directory and in directories named in the DBPATH environment variable.

1. The program name was misspelled, per the official guidance — the first named cause.
2. The program.4go file doesn't exist, or DBPATH doesn't include its directory, per the official guidance — the second named cause.
3. The program hasn't been compiled yet, per the official guidance — a specific, named contributing scenario.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Check the spelling of the program name.
2. If the name is correct, check the existence of the .4go file and the DBPATH setting, per the official guidance.
3. Compile the program before running it, per the official guidance, if that hasn't been done yet.

Examples

Checking for the compiled executable

$ echo $DBPATH
$ find . $(echo $DBPATH | tr ':' ' ') -name "order_entry.4go" 2>/dev/null

Diagnostic Checks

1. Check the program name's spelling, confirm program.4go exists where expected, verify DBPATH, and compile the program if it hasn't been compiled yet.
