Re: ESQL/C error?

In ANSI C, unlike C++, a variable declaration, of definition, can be placed ONLY at the beginning of a block, preceding ALL executable code except initializers. So the executable statement 'z = 44', which is NOT an initializer (int z=44; would be one), causes to following declaration of byte_lob to be illegal. What you have done would be pefectly legal in C++ which allows declarations anywhere but not in ESQL/C (Embedded SQL in "C"). Art S.
