manually create UpdateCommand; automatic onenot working for inform

I am trying to update an Informix database through a datagrid in
ASP.NET (Vb.NET) and I am using commandbuilder to that .NET provides.

I am able to get the records and populate the dataset, edit them but
when I click update I get the following error:

ERROR [HY000] [Informix][Informix ODBC Driver][Informix]IS [NOT] NULL
predicate may be used only with simple columns.

I use ODBC Informix driver 2.90.

Here is the Update command created by .NET:

UPDATE dms_tms_queue SET whse_code = ? , ship_id = ? , pps_num = ? ,
cust_num = ? , ship_num = ? , cust_po_num = ? , ship_name = ? ,
ship_address1 = ? , ship_address2 = ? , ship_address3 = ? , ship_city
= ? , ship_state = ? , ship_zip = ? , ship_cntry = ? , ship_phone = ?
, email_address = ? , payment_method = ? , ship_via_code = ? , memo_1
= ? , memo_2 = ? , memo_3 = ? , memo_4 = ? , memo_5 = ? , memo_6 = ? ,
memo_7 = ? , memo_8 = ? , memo_9 = ? , create_stamp = ? , create_user
= ? , ob_type = ? , ppd_coll = ? , transfer_num = ? , bo_num = ? WHERE
( (dms_tms_queue_id = ?) AND ((? IS NULL AND whse_code IS NULL) OR
(whse_code = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND ship_id IS NULL) OR (ship_id =
?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND pps_num IS NULL) OR (pps_num = ?)) AND ((? IS
NULL AND cust_num IS NULL) OR (cust_num = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND
ship_num IS NULL) OR (ship_num = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND cust_po_num
IS NULL) OR (cust_po_num = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND ship_name IS NULL)
OR (ship_name = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND ship_address1 IS NULL) OR
(ship_address1 = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND ship_address2 IS NULL) OR
(ship_address2 = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND ship_address3 IS NULL) OR
(ship_address3 = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND ship_city IS NULL) OR
(ship_city = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND ship_state IS NULL) OR
(ship_state = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND ship_zip IS NULL) OR (ship_zip =
?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND ship_cntry IS NULL) OR (ship_cntry = ?)) AND
((? IS NULL AND ship_phone IS NULL) OR (ship_phone = ?)) AND ((? IS

NULL AND payment_method IS NULL) OR (payment_method = ?)) AND ((? IS
NULL AND ship_via_code IS NULL) OR (ship_via_code = ?)) AND ((? IS
NULL AND memo_1 IS NULL) OR (memo_1 = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND memo_2
IS NULL) OR (memo_2 = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND memo_3 IS NULL) OR
(memo_3 = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND memo_4 IS NULL) OR (memo_4 = ?)) AND
((? IS NULL AND memo_5 IS NULL) OR (memo_5 = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND
memo_6 IS NULL) OR (memo_6 = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND memo_7 IS NULL)
OR (memo_7 = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND memo_8 IS NULL) OR (memo_8 = ?))
AND ((? IS NULL AND memo_9 IS NULL) OR (memo_9 = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL
AND create_stamp IS NULL) OR (create_stamp = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND
create_user IS NULL) OR (create_user = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND ob_type
IS NULL) OR (ob_type = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND ppd_coll IS NULL) OR
(ppd_coll = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND transfer_num IS NULL) OR
(transfer_num = ?)) AND ((? IS NULL AND bo_num IS NULL) OR (bo_num =
?)) )


How can I create manually an Update Command that would be applied to the
dataset ?


Thank you very much

Gentian

You could write it manually. The command builder tends to be over complex
because it tries to enforce all the rules; the syntax is

UPDATE YourTableName SET
ColumnName = Value,
//Next Column = Value,
//Next Column = Value

WHERE

This could be as simple as
WHERE ID = ?
