What is the warning? It's very difficult to deduce the error from just the source.

BTW, I know that some Pro*C pre-compiler translate the ".arr" as the record reference of the VARCHAR record. Since VARCHAR translated as a record, copying a char string to a record in C could generate a warning. So try casting the sqlstmt.arr as (char*).

i.e. strcpy((char*)sqlstmt.arr, "SELECT field from table");

P.S.
