Hi,
Any solution will make you test it yourself.
My sugestion:
use DS to generate a file with a valid insert statement and try running it in sqlplus it usually points you to the right column if you can't get it using DS.

For starters you say
INFORMIXDIR=/home/inf930FC5; export INFORMIXDIR

F as in 64 bit client when you need the H version which is a 32 bit client on a 64 bit machine.

Hi,
Did you go thru the pre install requirements?
Did you go over the install logs to verify it was successfull?
Is the mentioned service number already used by another application?
If the problem is when connecting with the clients do you have a firewall killing the connection?

Hi,
Is there any way to read this column as a numeric or a character type?
perhaps using a conversion function in the SQL itself?

(something like the to_char() being performed on oracle dates in the server jobs)
