unsigned int usage as a host variable in ESQL/C

Is there anyone who can help me in the following situation: I want to declare an unsigned int variable as a host variable, of course without using ($define unsigned int)? some thing like this : EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION; unsigned int iVar; EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION; if I do the above and then use the precompiler (on HP UX) esql -e test.ec then I get the following syntax error: esqlc:"test.ec" , line 5 :Error -33200:Invalid statment on symbol 'unsigned' Any help would be appreciated Thanks -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
