JL: I think there's a macro in sqlca.h (such a SQLCA_INCL) which prevents it from being included multiple times. Add that to the command line: c4gl -c -DSQLCA_INCL file.ec That should prevent problems... Maybe... Using c4gl to compile the ESQL/C code which will go into an I4GL program is the only (repeat *only*) reliable way of getting the correct compilation. Yours, Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@visa.com)
