Urgent (Pro*C++)

#1

I am unable to compile my Pro*C++ program when i declare any host
variables/structures in header files. It seems that Pro*C++ only
accepts declaration placed inside the block
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

But EXEC SQL statement are not allowed inside header files. Therefore
i am forced to include host structure / variable definitions in the
main program.

But i want to access these structure across different programs. I am
forced to include these definitions in each program as i cant include
them inside header file.

Pro*C allows you to declare host structure / variables anywhere
(header files / program).
But i think Pro*C++ has above mentioned restriction.

Is there any way out???
Please help me.

I haven't tried it, but maybe the EXEC SQL INCLUDE can help you.

According to the documentation, it will include the header file into
the C source during the precompile step, so you can have any embedded
SQL statements in a file that is included that way.
