Problem with exec sql include
Hello.
I have a 2 files: test.h and test.pgc.
In test.h, I defined:
typedef struct {
long curid;
char curnombre[20];
char curfecha[10];
} struct_cursor;
And, in test.pgc, I want to declare:
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
struct_cursor t_cursor;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
But, when I do: ecpg -I/<include_file_path> test.pgc,
I get: test.pgc:7: ERROR: invalid datatype 'struct_cursor'
I know that I can include the typedef at DECLARE SECTION, but I don't
want to use that (test.h and test.pgc are only examples of the problem
bigest).
How can I resolve this?
Thanks.

ECPG does not parse anything outside EXEC SQL blocks, so how else should
it lear about your struct definition? You can of course use a EXEC SQL
TYPE command to define it for ECPG as well.

Thanks for you suggestion.
In the test.pgc file, I do:
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
exec sql include test;
struct_cursor t_cursor;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
... and it works fine. It is correct????
Thank you again.

Depends on what test.h contains. ecpg has to learn the definition of
your struct somewhere.
