- I have a Pro*c question I'm hoping some one could help me with.
-
- My group is in the process of moving off of our 3b2 (SVR 3.2) and onto a
- Starserver-E (SVR4). One difference (aside from speed) is that the
- starserver complains about a lot of code that the 3b2 did not care about.
-
- It seems that the Pro*c precomplier declares the array part of a varchar
- as an unsigned char, but all the string functions expect a signed char.
- So, the compiler puts out a warning message every time a string function
- is used on the varchar.
-
- It does compile and run, but we really don't want to have these messages
- appear every time we compile. Of course we could go back and cast all the
- varchar arrays to signed char, but it's a lot of code to go through.
-
- We were looking for a precompiler option but there doesn't seem to be one
- that would resolve this problem. Does anyone out there have any simplier
- ideas on how to solve this?
-
- We are using oracle version V6.0.33.1.2 and oracle precompiler
- version 1.3.18.1.2
-
- Thanks,
