The NT port defaults "parse" to "none". On ALL other ports, parse defaults to FULL. Out of the box, proc on NT does not parse C code -- it works like proc 1.6 did. You have to use EXEC BEGIN DECLARE / EXEC SQL END DECLARE, no defines, cannot bind to parameters or records and so on.
If you add:
proc .... parse=FULL ....
to the pro*c command line, proc will behave like proc on Unix does.
