Re: Win binary installation/imix odbc - connecting to database?

The error is just reporting the keyword that gave rise to the error.

It sees the "DATABASE", then the "test_db" - next word is "MAIN" - which is
not a "@" or anything else that could continue to be a dbname - so the
error says "MAIN"..

For Windows, if you've got the ClientSDK installed
You should be setting :

A4GL_SQLTYPE=esql


make sure you set

INFORMIXDIR
INFORMIXSERVER
SQLHOSTS
etc etc

And you should be good to go - the main issue you're having is almost
certainly down to the configuration around the Informix database.

If you can run an ESQL/C program - but not an Aubit4GL one - then it moves
to "Aubit" settings ;)
