Informix Error -9432: Variable length UDTs are not supported in this version of Java.

Reasons / Common Causes

-9432 fires when a variable-length UDT is used with a Java version that doesn't support them — per the official guidance.

1. Using a variable-length UDT with a Java version predating that feature, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause; this feature is scheduled to be enabled in a future release.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Avoid using variable-length UDTs with this Java version, per the official guidance's implication, until a release that supports the feature is available.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond referencing a variable-length UDT.

Diagnostic Checks

1. Check whether the UDT involved is variable-length, and avoid it (or use a fixed-length equivalent) with this Java version.

Variable-length UDTs aren't supported by this Java version — avoid them until a supporting release is available.
