Hello all! We are on ORACLE 9.2.0.6. We have been on AIX 5.2. We just bought a bigger machine, that came installed with AIX 5.3. I decided to just tar over the entire oracle install from the old machine to the new machine. I then did a cold backup of the database and restored to the new machine. Everything came up fine, except when using PRO*C (release 9.2.0.6.0) When I compile the sample.pc I get the error: Error at line 135, column 2 in file /usr/include/standards.h #warning The -qdfp option is required to process DFP code in headers. .1 PCC-S-02014, Encountered the symbol "warning" when expecting one of the following: I checked the include file and it is quite a bit different than AIX 5.2. This section is causing the problem: #if defined(__IBM_PP_WARNING) #warning The -qdfp option is required to process DFP code in headers. #else #error The -qdfp option is required to process DFP code in headers. #endif So I commented the section out in standards.h and now PRO*C works fine. Looks like the if .. warning... syntax caused proc to choke. Is there some incompatibility between PRO*C 9.2.0.6.0 and AIX 5.3? If I had actually done a re-link of oracle or even a fresh install, would that have prevented the error? I checked METALINK and found nothing about this specifically. All comments welcome! THANK YOU!
