:Dear all,
: We have currently the following informix setup :
: INFORMIX EMBEDDED SQL for C Version 7.10.UC1
: Copyright (C) 1984-1994 Informix Software, Inc.
: INFORMIX-4GL Version 6.01.UD2
: Copyright (C) 1984-1994 Informix Software, Inc.
: INFORMIX-SQL Version 6.01.UD1
: Copyright (C) 1984-1994 Informix Software, Inc.
: INFORMIX-OnLine Dynamic Server Version 7.13.UC3
: Copyright (C) 1986-1996 Informix Software, Inc
These are old versions that have many known defects. You should
upgrade to newer versions. That may require a newer OS though.
:
: In addition to this we have an
:
: OS HP-UX hotsy A.09.04 E 9000/867 445345261 8-user license
Is A.09.04 the version of the OS? Isn't this a little old? Is an
upgrade to a newer version possible?
: which is running on an H40 machine.
:
: We have ported a product from Informix 4.1 to the above configuration
: but we are getting runtime errors.
: eg. While fetching an a column from the database fetches a null value.
: When we display a form after a fresh entry is inserted into the
: database the software gives "BUS ERROR " in one of the informix
: routines.
In 4GL a "BUS ERROR" is sumtimes related to a bad termcap/terminfo
definition.
: When we display some information from the table to a forms
: gives runtime erorr (-404 Cursor not defined ).
My finderr 404 gives the following result (for version 5 and up of the
engine):
-404 The cursor or statement is not available.
This statement names a cursor which has been released with
the FREE statement. Review the program logic and make
sure that the cursor specified is declared and opened, but
not freed, prior to reaching this statement.
This might be helpfull to find the error. Remember the use of free has
changed in newer releases of 4GL (and probably ESQL/C, but I don't
know that product).
: I would be highly obliged if any one could gives us a clue on this
: problems.
:
: Awaiting a reply.

: Thanks to you all in advance
