E/SQL host arrays with defined sizes

I would like to use defines for the sizes of some of the arrays in my E/SQL C code... i.e. #define COLUMN_WIDTH 18 EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE; char column[COLUMN_WIDTH+1]; EXEC SQL END DECLARE; EXEC SQL SELECT column into :column FROM table WHERE something=something; When something like the above is compiled, esqlc generates warnings like esqlc: "????.ec", line ###: Warning -33208: Runtime error is possible because size of 'column' is unknown. but other places I use similar arrays I do not get warnings about unknown size... The reason I want to use the #define instead of the hard coded size is because I have a column which changed width and I now have to go to the half dozen places that it is hardcoded with the old size to fix it to the new size... I would just assume fix it with a #define so I won't run into this problem again... How would I solve this problem? -- Timothy Friest - Science Application International Corp (SAIC) Anchorage Alaska 907-272-7105
