This problem temporarily solved by recycle the database service. Still trying to find root cause of the problem as this may not be solution for every time.

The above problem got solves after installing a patch. The problem is not exist in newer versions of Informix.

Probably you have some LOCALE misconfiguration between the client and server or some problem with the client installation.
Try confirm the locale used at the database and set the CLIENT_LOCALE with compatible value.

-23103 Code-set conversion function failed due to an illegal sequence or invalid value.

Illegal or invalid characters occur in the character string. The program could not execute the code-set conversion on the characters that this string contains. Reexamine the input string for illegal or invalid characters and reexecute the program.

If you have an alternative way to connect at the database , run this SQL :

select * from sysmaster:sysdbslocale

You will get a information like this..

dbs_dbsname  sysmaster
dbs_collate  en_US.819

dbs_dbsname  sysha
dbs_collate  en_US.819

dbs_dbsname  sysuser
dbs_collate  en_US.819

dbs_dbsname  onpload
dbs_collate  en_US.819
