Also I checked the java version and whether the java compiler is working with javac command, it shows both are working fine, Appreciate your help to resolve this issue.

Result of java -version

Macbooks-MacBook-Pro:~ isharakularatna$ java -version
java version "10.0.2" 2018-07-17
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.3 (build 10.0.2+13)

The d64 flag is obsolete and doesn't work any more starting with JDK-10. It is marked as deprecated in JDK-9 but still functions. The current version is already JDK-11.

For more information see the article
Obsolete java options -d32, -d64 in jdk-10 affect scripts domain.sh, standalone.sh, appclient.sh.

You need to either get a newer version of IBM Informix (if available) or go down in JDK versions.

The curious point here is that d64 is said to apply only to Solaris, which is an additional reason to verify your Informix version.
