Re: Runtime error message from esqlc

In article <33AE8C31.2933@worldnet.att.net>, rdorgan@worldnet.att.net says... >Im running esql 5.08UC1.

The (arguably less-than-intelligent) ESQL/C preprocessor is not seeing your #define; it doesn't understand #define. To eliminate that error, you'd need to use $define instead - which, granted, may lead to other undesirable consequences. >static $char lsun[wbatchctl::DAYSIZE]; >static $char lmon[wbatchctl::DAYSIZE]; >where wbatchctl::DAYSIZE is a public enum, I get the same error. Im just >trying to localize my declarations as enhances maintainability. ESQL/C does not understand C++; it is unlikely that this construct will ever ben understood, at least until/if ESQL/C is every upgraded to ESQL/C++. Guess that's another item for Tim Shaefer's list. -- William Harris william@carsinfo.com
