Hi Hwee,
Form the feedback I received from several people, the best tools to develop mobile apps are the tools initially designed for that: they need to have a very light footprint at runtime, which is not easy to obtain with a 4gl compiler nor interpreter.
That's, I think, the main reason why Querix does not want to go that way, that is obtaining poor efficiency and get customers at least disappointed.
Also as far as I understand, IBM does not care anymore about this type of client, so it is highly unlikely that IBM will provide in-house solutions. Is it good or bad, I am not sure.

Question on: IBM Informix
Version 11.70 - Where should look if I am having problems with triggers via a stored procedure?Add, update and delete triggers are added to insert a record into a specific table. The first thing the stored procedure checks if if the key is not found in the table then a records is is written to to a table. For some reason the record is not inserted. This could be a Stored Procedure issue but I feel it is trigger related.

Hi Rhonda,
First of all you should clearly and at least look at upgrading to version 14.10 xC2, because 11.70 maintenance will stop by March 30th 2020.
On the other hand, I would SET TRACE ON in the Stored procedure and check what the procedure does, jointly with setting sqltrace on on the engine and see what sql statements are executed exactly.
At least start with that.
