I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish...but if your definition of a "dot pc file" is the same as mine, that is a Pro*C file having SQL statements in it to be pre-compiled and subsequently compiled into an executable, then you can't call it with a system call at all as it is not yet in an exectuable format.

Yes its a pro c file.I know dot pc file will have executable. can i call executable with system
Code:
sprintf(buf, ss_xxx   "agrv1" -c %s, str);
system(buf);

please let me know the syntex for sprintf(executable plus two arguments )
thankx

I think pro*c is C with extensions, so:

Code:
sprintf(buf, "stuff %s %s", string1, string2);

Here's a further example with three arguments:
Code:
sprintf(buf, "stuff %s %s %s", string1, string2, string3);

The pattern should now be apparent.

Ok...so you want to call the exectuable that was created by compiling the Pro*C file, NOT the Pro*C file itself. So...

Code:
sprintf(buf, "%s %s %s", executable_name, arg1, arg2);
system(buf);
