Informix Error -9055: The compiled report file filename could not be found or opened.

Cause and resolution

The compiled report file filename could not be found or opened.

The report filename was named on the ACEGO command line. It expects to locate the file filename.arc in the current directory or a path that the DBPATH environment variable names, but it could not find the file or could not open it for reading. Check that the filename was spelled correctly and that your account has read access to it.
