-33020: Line to long?

Hi. I'm having a problem compiling an Informix prorgram in eSQL/C. I created a select string in the main body of my program like so: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION; ... char *myselect = "...A REALLY LONG STRING..."; EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION; When I compile, I get a "-33020: Line is too long" error for the line with the really long string. I looked up this error in "Informix Find Error" and it said the following: -33020 Line is too long. This line is too long either for the host language or to fit into the internal buffers of the preprocessor. Refer to the embedded-language manual and to the host-language manual for rules on continuing long lines. **** I searched through the Informix CD-Docs for these rules on continuing long lines. Does anybody know where I can find these rules in the manual or if they know of a work around for this problem with the long lines? TIA.
