either

1- put
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
 ... host variables ....
EXEC SQL END DECLAE SECTION; in the code around host variables or

2- add:
parse=full

to the pro*c command line.

as it is, pro*c on windows defaults to parse=none so it is not 'reading' the C [Quoted] code, its just looking for EXEC SQL directives, and hence its not seeing any variables.
