the above code generates the following error:
The compiler complains:

since its envelop'd in an if/else clause, shouldn't it work?
hi,
i think that ecpg is only text preprocessor. it doesn't understand the c
semantics - it goes from the top to the end of the file row by row and
sees your declaration twice.

Unfortuantely no, you can only ever have one "EXEC SQL DECLARE" for a
given cursor name due to ecpg/ESQL simple parsing. What you would do
in a situation like this is something like:
if( ic_flag == 1 )
/* only select those non-IC/Spyder nodes that has full update set */
sprintf(stmt, "SELECT node_name FROM NODE WHERE dynamic_community = 'f' AND ic_flag = 'n' AND machine_type != 22 AND node_id != 0 AND NODE_NAME != %s", nodename);
else
sprintf(stmt, "SELECT node_name FROM NODE WHERE dynamic_community = 'f' AND node_id != 0 AND NODE_NAME != %s", nodename);
EXEC SQL PREPARE s_statement FROM :stmt;
EXEC SQL DECLARE full_dyn_node CURSOR FOR s_statement;

By definition no. You could compare it to C preprocessor commands like
#define.
