Informix Error -1372
-1372 The number entered is too large to fit in the decimal or money variable.
Probably no current IBM Informix product returns this message. If it appears, refer to the explanation of error -1226. If the error recurs, note all circumstances and contact IBM Informix Technical Support.
Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance
Reasons / Common Causes
-1372 is flagged by the official text as likely obsolete — per the official guidance, probably no current IBM Informix product returns this message; users are directed instead to -1226's documentation for the current, equivalent condition.
- A number with more integer digits than the target
DECIMAL/MONEYvariable's declared precision allows, per the official guidance's pointer to -1226 — the underlying condition -1372 predates.
Solutions / Resolution
- Refer to -1226's documentation, per the official guidance, for the current, equivalent condition and its fix.
- If the error persists after checking that reference, contact IBM Informix Technical Support, per the official guidance.
Examples
N/A
This is a likely-obsolete predecessor to -1226 — see -1226's examples for the underlying precision mechanism.
Diagnostic Checks
- Check the target variable's declared precision against the value's actual integer-digit count, per -1226's diagnostic approach.
