Informix Error -8009

-8009 A memory allocation error has occurred. The ACE report specification

is probably too large.

The ACE compiler could not allocate memory that it needed. Try reducing the size of the report specification.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-8009 fires when the ACE compiler can't allocate memory it needs — per the official guidance, likely because the report specification is too large.

A report specification too large for the compiler to process within available memory, per the official guidance — the direct, likely cause.

Solutions / Resolution

Try reducing the size of the report specification, per the official guidance.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond a report too large for available compiler memory.

Diagnostic Checks

Check the overall size/complexity of the report specification, and reduce it if memory allocation is failing.
