Hi, I was able to reproduce this issue.
The precompiler accepts: EXEC SQL GET DESCRIPTOR d :desc_count1 = count, :desc_count2 = count; but generates invalid C code with concatenated variables, which fails at compile time. After applying the patch and rebuilding ecpg, the same statement is now rejected during preprocessing with a syntax error. So the patch works as expected. Thanks for the fix. Regards, Lakshmi G
