Re: ECPG and EXEC SQL GET DIAGNOSTICS

To all,
Thanks for responding to my question and sorry for the delay
in answering your reply.

Informix ESQLC (9.2.1 ) has functionality that allows you to get the
status of
a previously excecuted sql statement.

/* there can be more than 1 exception, the "1" in the following example
refers to the 1st exception" */
EXEC SQL get diagnostics  exception 1
:_srvrname = SERVER_NAME, :_sqlstate_code = RETURNED_SQLSTATE,
:_message = MESSAGE_TEXT, :_messlen = MESSAGE_LENGTH;

This would place the DB Server name, Error message text (if any) and the
length
of the error message into the respective host variables.
This statement would compile and run under informix but fail
when compiled with ecpg (3.1.0/PostgreSQL 7.4.1) with the following
error code.
"test.pgc:19: ERROR: syntax error at or near "diagnostics" "

Compilation command: "ecpg -c -C INFORMIX test.pgc"

I have attached test.pgc

Thanks to all,
ken
