Pro*c and SVR4

I have a Pro*c question I'm hoping some one could help me with.

My group is in the process of moving off of our 3b2 (SVR 3.2) and onto a Starserver-E (SVR4). One difference (aside from speed) is that the starserver complains about a lot of code that the 3b2 did not care about.

It seems that the Pro*c precomplier declares the array part of a varchar as an unsigned char, but all the string functions expect a signed char. So, the compiler puts out a warning message every time a string function is used on the varchar.

It does compile and run, but we really don't want to have these messages appear every time we compile. Of course we could go back and cast all the varchar arrays to signed char, but it's a lot of code to go through.

We were looking for a precompiler option but there doesn't seem to be one that would resolve this problem. Does anyone out there have any simplier ideas on how to solve this?

We are using oracle version V6.0.33.1.2 and oracle precompiler version 1.3.18.1.2

Thanks,
