My code declares a HOST variable this way:

#define NAME_LEN 80
....

EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
char sqlName[NAME_LEN];
....
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

I precompile this way: "cpre -G -r -m -a myprogram.cp"

For some reason, within the .sql file this is declared as @sqlName
char(NAME_LEN), instead of @sqlName char(80).

Later, when I use isql to upload the store procedure, it fails saying
it doesn't recognize the variable NAME_LEN.

Is there any config option I should set to prevent this from
happening? I had a look at the messages in this group and didn't find
any on this.

I'm newbie on Sybase embedded SQL, so excuse my ingorance.

The Open client version is: CS_VERSION_110

Thanks in advance,

Gabriel.

I think that is a bug that has been fixed in the latest EBFs.
The bug number is:
216372 ESQL/C: cpre and cobre used with -G flag did not use
actual character array size for stored procedure's
parameter.

There was another similar bug that has also been fixed in recent EBFs:
239138 CPRE/COBPRE: When using -G option and an invalid stored
procedure parameter's character size is specified, this
is not defaulted to 255.

If it is still a problem after you apply the most recent EBF,
you should probably contact technical support.
