Using structures as host variable in Pro*C

I'm converting a embedded C program that used to run on Ingres to Oracle. This app uses a incredible quantity of structures as host variables in order to map RDBMS tables to C data. I'm almost desparate because in all the Oracle PRO*C manuals I have (Programmer's Guide v1.5 and PRO*C User's Guide v1.1) there never is a reference to using structures as host variables, only primitive types. When I try to compile my app the precompiler failes miserably. I'm using Oracle 7 on Solaris 2.1 for Intel.

This is what I want to do:

	EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
	typedef struct { 
	   char name[65];                
	   long addr;                   
	   short version;              
	   char n_group[65];          
	   short x;                 
	   short y;                
	   short visible;        
	   short freq;         
	   short manage;      
	} node_str;
	EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

Can some kind soul enlight me on what I'm doing wrong? I cannot believe that Ingres and Informix support this kind of host variable and Oracle doesn't. Received on Mon Jul 04 1994 - 19:46:09 CEST
