Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-33015 fires when the preprocessor's input file doesn't have the required suffix — per the official guidance: .ec for ESQL/C, .eco for ESQL/COBOL, .ef for ESQL/FORTRAN.

An input file named without the required language-specific suffix, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.

Solutions / Resolution

Rename the input file with the correct suffix for its embedded language, per the official guidance (.ec/.eco/.ef).

Examples

An incorrectly-suffixed ESQL/C source file

$ esql myprog.c        # -33015: ESQL/C requires .ec, not .c
$ mv myprog.c myprog.ec
$ esql myprog.ec

Diagnostic Checks

Check the input file's extension, and rename it to .ec/.eco/.ef as appropriate for the embedded language in use.
