Introduction

■

The

anual describes how to invoke the utility to

access, modify, and retrieve information from OnLine relational
databases.

■

When errors occur, you can look them up by number and find their
cause and solution in the

essages manual. If you

prefer, you can look up the error messages in the online message file
described in

.

Informix software products provide

ASCII

 files that contain all the Informix

error messages and their corrective actions. To access the error messages in
the

ASCII

 file, Informix provides scripts that let you display error messages

on the terminal or print formatted error messages.

The optional

IBM I

nformix

M

essages and Corrections product provides

PostScript files that contain the error messages and their corrective actions. If
you have installed this product, you can print the PostScript files on a
PostScript printer.

You can use the file that contains the

ASCII

text version of the error messages

and their corrective actions in two ways:

■

Use the finderr script to display one or more error messages on the
terminal screen.

■

Use the rofferr script to print one error message or a range of error
messages.

The scripts are in the $

 directory. The

ASCII

 file has the

following path:

The error message numbers range from -1 to -33000. When you specify these
numbers for the finderr or rofferr scripts, you can omit the minus sign. A few
messages have positive numbers; these messages are used solely within the
application development tools. In the unlikely event that you want to display
them, you must precede the message number with a + sign.
