? How do I declare a structure into which to fetch records?

I don't have my manuals with me (I'm at home) and I am trying to get some embedded SQL C code (a.k.a. Pro*C) to precompile. I am not sure that the manuals would answer this one anyway so I have turned to the net for help.

I have declared a structure into which a record should be retrieved:

  EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
  struct emprec_ {
    char name[35];
    char dept_name[41];
    char phone[16];
  } query_results; /* Results of query placed here */   EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION; but the precompiler errors on the fetch statement as follows:

  Precompiling proc_3.pc
   215 EXEC SQL FETCH emp_csr INTO :query_results;

   215 ....................................................^
       PCC-S-0026:  Undeclared host variable "query_results" at line 215

in file proc_3.pc

• Error code 1

It is pretty clear what is wrong. But how do I fix it? I know that char datatypes are declared as VARCHAR, yet int are declared as int. Is there a keywork for declaring embedded SQL structures?

Even a snippet of code that shows the proper syntax for the declaration would be helpful. I just need the precompiler to recognize that the structure has been declared.

Thanks in advance,
