Error description

  • Informix BYTE is a kind of LOB data type. With the "BINARY_REP"
column option, the predicate related to this column may be
pushed down to remote data source, which makes the SQL statement
failed because Informix BYTE can't be directly compared or
bound.

The possible error message would be:

SQL1822N  Unexpected error code "-615" received from data source
"InformixSer".
Associated text and tokens are "Blobs are not allowed in this
expression.".
SQLSTATE=560BD
  Return Status = 0

Local fix

  • Delete the "BINARY_REP" column option
