Hi Matt,

This problem was reported by another user.  The Pro*C language has
apparently changed slightly since Oracle 7.  The keyword DESCRIPTOR is
now needed in such a statement, as in

    EXEC SQL DESCRIBE BIND VARIABLES FOR S0 INTO DESCRIPTOR descriptor
                                                 ^^^^^^^^^^

where "descriptor" is an identifier declared within orastuff.pc.  The
above, in principle, solved the problem for our user.  However, I
don't recall specifically whether the identifier name "descriptor" was
later flagged by the precompiler as a reserved word.  (If so, simply
change the identifier's name.)

Let us know how it goes...
