Nominally, you'll need to contact IBM - either sales or tech support.

Both are likely to say something along the lines of "not heard of the
product".

It has certainly not been readily available for a long time - I'm not
sure if there's been a release of any sort this millennium, but I
wouldn't be surprised to find that the answer is "No".

NewEra is dead. Long live NewEra. If you have an IBM PA account you can
probably purchase it through there. There is no free or trial/demo download
as this is a legacy only product Informix stopped maintaining it long
before the IBM buyout.

Re: SCO OpenServer 6 compile problems

Hi Alan

The unixds is the OpenServer Development System. I compiled under 5.0.5 and
moved my binary to 6.0.0. Worked like a charm. I compiled using the Informix
shell tool i4gl not c4gl. Whatever works!

Thx. DJA.

Thanks for the response.
I applied your recommended fixes -
PATH=/osr5/bin:$PATH
and the changes to c4gl recommended by John Boland.

When I compile now, I get the following fatal error:
make score_qsr.4ge

c4gl -c score_qsr.4gl
UX:acomp: ERROR: "/usr/informix/incl/tools/fglsys.h", line 41: cannot find

before or at: FILE
UX:acomp: ERROR: "/usr/informix/incl/tools/fglrep.h", line 63: cannot recover
from previous errors
*** Error code 1 (bu21)
As you can probably tell, Unix C is not my forte, (I inherited this problem
from developing in Informix 4GL and SQL) and didn't understand your reference
to "They need to install the unixds ($99 license)" - could that be the
problem, if so could you clarify the unixds reference please?

Hi Alan

I had the same issues recently. There are no future plans to
port current versions of Informix products to SCO 6.0.0. But
any binaries that are created in SCO 5.0.7 and below will
run on SCO 6.0.0.. The following comes from SCO tech support -

#################
The issues have been covered in J Boland's 2006 migration talk and
recently in a support e-mail .

The error is an indication that they are trying to mix OSR5 ABI code
with SVR5 (newly compiled) code.

It basically is they must use the OSR5 ABI version of the compilation
tools on the system..... They need to install the unixds ($99 license)

set their path to

PATH=/osr5/bin:$PATH

This uses the OSR5 version of the compilation tools automatically.

There is also some script changes that they will need to make; I have
copied John Boland's recent response to Asoh san on this same topic
and
tracked in SR 913415

Re: SCO OpenServer 6 compile problems

The 4GL libraries (and your original .o files as well) are OpenServer native
objects, but the compiler is being asked to create an Intel ABI
compatibility executable that can run on any Intel OS rather than a native
one. The two formats are not 'compatible' within the same executable.
There is some option being passed by the c4gl script (or the 4gl IDE) that
is telling it to do that. Read the documentation for cc, find the option,
and change the c4gl script, then recompile everything again. IBM or SCO
should be able to help if you can't figure it out (I haven't had to deal
with that one for many years, so I don't remember the option myself).

Re: SCO OpenServer 6 compile problems
Posted by: domusonline@gmail.com (Fernando Nunes) - Thu, 28 Aug 2008 06:52:43 EDT
I have no experience with SCO, but maybe the default object format changed
from 5.3 to 6.0.
If you're able to run c4gl it probably means SCO 6.0 can run older format
binaries.
What it probably can't do is to mix different object formats into one
executable.
Possibly you have options in the C compiler and in the loader (ld) to use
(generate) the old format?

Anyway... is SCO still supported? Wouldn't it be better to move to another
OS?... Linux comes to mind...

Regards, and hope this helps.

SCO OpenServer 6 compile problems
Posted by: alans@pip.com.au (ALAN SMITH) - Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:41:33 EDT
I have upgraded from SCO OpenServer 5.3 to 6.0 and am failing to compile 4GL
code with the error " UX:ld: ERROR: lib4gsh730.so: cannot link OpenServer
object into Intel iABI (UDK ABI) target".
I'm using INFORMIX-4GL Version 7.30.UC1
Initially it was failing with the same message except referring to the first
of the .o modules (in place of lib4gsh730.so) in the program. When I
re-compiled all the .o's, it reported the above error.
lib4gsh730.so is part of the c4gl compile system and so I can't re-compile it.
The SCO 6 documentation claims that it's 100% binary compatible with SCO 5, so
I'm stumped.
Any ideas?

CONNECT BY is for hierarchical queries (bill of materials, etc), and
unrelated to the plain CONNECT for establishing a connection to the
database.

I do have a stash of code (ancient) related to hierarchical queries -
BOM, etc - in Informix.

However, I don't have anything that explicitly emulates the Oracle
behaviour; I simply haven't tried.

See the Guide to SQL Tutorial, Guide to SQL Reference, Guide to SQL Syntax,
and DBaccess manuals.

In Informix you connect similarly:

You can run a script containing the commands as:

dbaccess - - < myscript.sql

or use a 'here' script, the commands are the same:

dbaccess - - <<EOF
connect to mydatabase@myserver user 'mylogin';
Password: mypassword

select * from emp;
EOF

Re: Informix ODBC driver - Multiple DSNS
Posted by: shagrawal@in.ibm.com (Sheshnarayan Agrawal) - Thu, 14 Aug 2008 03:14:38 EDT
If you are using CSDK 3.00 onwards(infact from CSDK 2.90.xC4 onwards) and
trying to create multiple DSNs with same server name but different host,
protocol etc, then you will get following message.

"You have changed the host, service, or protocol for this database server.
These changes will be reflected in all DSNs that use this server and in
the Setnet32 entry for this server."

Do you want to proceed?"

If you are not getting this error then you are not using CSDK 3.00 !!

However, If you have such requirement to have same server names but
different host, protocol etc. Then you need to work on DSNless connection
(there were some issue around this which has been addressed from CSDK
3.00.xC1 onwards), that means you have to provide connection information
as a part of connection string itself. You don't need to create setnet32
entries for these servers.

DSNless connection string example,

"Database=mydb;Server=myonline-server;Service=port_num;Host=myhost;Protocol=onsoctcp;UID=informix;PWD=xxxx;"

Informix ODBC driver - Multiple DSNS [370]

We are developing a .NET application which will need to connect to one of
9
IDS servers. We found the 2.8 and 3.0 SDK ODBC Driver for Window but it
appears not to support multiple DSNS. We can define a server but when we
add
another, it overlays the first. How do define multiple DSNs (IDS
connections)
with the Informix ODBC driver for Windows? Thanks in advance.

Re: -255 Error : Why and How to resolve it
Posted by: vidyapati@huawei.com (VIDYA PANDEY) - Mon, 04 Aug 2008 07:05:26 EDT
Hi,
I replaced the client SDK
"IBM Informix CSDK Version 2.81, IBM Informix-ESQL Version 9.53.UC2
Software Serial Number RDS#N000000"

with

"IBM Informix CSDK Version 2.90, IBM Informix-ESQL Version 2.90.UC4
Software Serial Number AAA#B000000"

And the problem is solved.
