Does anyone know why the ESQL preprocessor in Informix converts all
types and variable names in a host variable declaration to lower
case?
e.g. after preprocessing $char GREEN;
comes out as char green;
This can (has) caused a few problems, C being case sensitive and all
that. Is there a way to get around it?
Thanks.

It will be important for users to make sure that their programs use the same case arrangement throughout their programs (i.e., don't declare it as GREEN but reference it as Green -- that will work today, but won't work in the future). Hope this helps. -b
