HELP with embedded SQL (pro*C)

I was just wondering if it is possible to use views in embedded SQL.I have looked through the oracle pro*C user's guide and nothing is mentioned about views in there.

What I want to do is query two tables to get the day and time of a given tutorial( in the tut_booking table) and the starting time from another(tutorial table)

  EXEC SQL create view time_ckeck as

            select distinct t_day,t_time,start_date
            from tut_booking,tutorial
            where stud_id = reg_num
            and tut_booking.tcode = tutorial.tcode;  -- join condition

then against this I want to check the current student and the tutorial that he/she wants to enroll in and check against the view to see if there is a clash in time and day

   EXEC SQL select count(*)

            into :temp5
            from time_check
            where t_day =:tday1
            and t_time =:ttime1
            and start_date =:date1;
    
  if (temp5 != 0)
       error(3);

It seems when I run my entire program the view creation does not work, even though it works properly when I create the view in sqlplus.

All help will be appreciated.
