Re: Error message printing

void sqlerror(void) { char fmt[256]; char str[256]; int msglen; if (rgetlmsg(sqlca.sqlcode, fmt, sizeof(fmt), &msglen) != 0) /* Problems with getting message */ else sprintf(str, fmt, sqlca.sqlerrm); fprintf(stderr, "SQL: %s\\n", str); } This is safe unless you get one of the errors with a %d format, or one with more than one % conversion specifier. You can use msglen to find out if there was enough space.
