RE: Compilation of dostats.ec
After poking and prodding the $INFORMIXDIR/bin/esql script file, and looking at the man pages for "cc", I found that setting (and exporting, of course) the environment variable CCOPTS="-Ae" works like a charm! This is on HPUX 10.20, w/ ESQL/C version 7.24.UC8A. I can simply set CCOPTS in my .profile, so I don't have to fiddle around inside the esql script. BTW, the "e" option is for "extended ANSI".

I sometimes forget to reply to "All" which would include the list - not just the original sender. Just a correction -- The flag sequence is "-Aa" -Amode Specify the compilation standard to be used by the compiler. mode can be one of the following letters: c (Default) Compile in a mode compatible with HP-UX releases prior to 7.0. (See The C Programming Language, First Edition by Kernighan and Ritchie). This option also defines the symbol _HPUX_SOURCE and allows the user to access macros and typedefs provided by the HPUX Operating System. The default compilation mode may change in future releases. a Compile under ANSI mode (ANSI programming language C standard ISO 9899:1990). When compiling under ANSI mode, the header files would define only those names (macros and typedefs) specified by the Standard. To access macros and typedefs that are not defined by the ANSI Standard but are provided by the HPUX Operating System, define the symbol _HPUX_SOURCE; or use the extension option described below.

There is a flag you need to add. Someone sent the required flag, so I am posting for all. You have to pass the -aA flag to cc. It is best to edit $INFORMIXDIR/bin/esql and add this there for all compiles since it cannot hurt K&R source programs. Art S.
