Informix Error -9064: The run-time string table is full. No more memory can be allocated.

Cause and resolution

The run-time string table is full. No more memory can be allocated.

The data space available for temporary character strings is full. Temporary strings are built when calling external C functions and when processing the USING, SPACE, and ASCII built-in functions. Reduce the use of these items.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-9064 fires when the data space for temporary character strings is full — per the official guidance.

Excessive use of external C function calls, or the USING, SPACE, and ASCII built-in functions, per the official guidance — these build temporary strings that fill the run-time string table.

Solutions / Resolution

Reduce the use of external C function calls and the USING, SPACE, and ASCII built-in functions, per the official guidance.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond exhausting the run-time string table.

Diagnostic Checks

Review the report for heavy use of USING/SPACE/ASCII or external C functions, and reduce their use where possible.
