INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / E10 - 

Given the following test case:

create table tab1(a int);

create procedure p1( arg1  Like tab1.a) returning int;
return 99;
end procedure;

create procedure p2() returning int;
return 99;
end procedure;

create procedure p3() returning int;
return 99;
end procedure;

drop table tab1;

update statistics for procedure p1;
update statistics for procedure p2;
update statistics for procedure p3;

It would be expected behavior that the update statistics for p1
would fail,  as p1 references tab1, which was dropped with the
like clause.

When this is run using dbaccess in interactive mode the
following is shown:

create table tab1(a int);

create procedure p1( arg1  Like tab1.a) returning int;
return 99;
end procedure;

create procedure p2() returning int;
return 99;
end procedure;

create procedure p3() returning int;
return 99;
end procedure;

drop table tab1;

update statistics for procedure p1;
update statistics for procedure p2;
# ^
#  206: The specified table (tab1) is not in the database.
#
#  111: ISAM error:  no record found.
#
update statistics for procedure p3;

Due to the order of the error output above it would appear that
the error 206 is related to procedure 2, when the error actually
occurred due to the refence to tab1 in procedure 1.  In a
situation where this is more complex it would be very difficult
to determine which procedure the error was coming from. The 206
and 111 errors should be listed in context and not at the end of
the statement run.
