Thanks for that info, Alvin.

Ok, on a related topic: can I use structures in Pro*C? I've started writing a program that uses structures, but it gives me compilation error. Here's the declaration:

	struct pnt {int x,y;};
	struct lne {struct pnt p1, p2;};

	void dplay(struct pnt pArray[],int index, char statusBar[]);

And in the main, some more declarations:
	struct pnt p;
	struct pnt pArray[Nmax];

Compilation error:
	"protest.c", line 179: syntax error at or near word "struct"

	*** Error code 1
	make: fatal error: Command failed for target 'protest'

The error occurs at the instant the structure pnt is declared. Could you possibly tell me what's wrong. And what restrictions Pro*C has regarding structures. Must structures map to a table in the database???

Please shed some light on this matter.

Thanx.
