Execute Pro*c

Sorry, but I´m not with you here : in the good book (ie, "Pro*C/C++ Precompiler Programmer's Guide" manual) it gives the following example to call a procedure :

.....

To call a stored subprogram from your host program, you can use either an anonymous PL/SQL block, or the CALL embedded SQL statement.

Anonymous PL/SQL Block
In the following example, you call a standalone procedure named raise_salary:

EXEC SQL EXECUTE
BEGIN
raise_salary(:emp_id, :increase);
END;
END-EXEC;

....

I ** truly ** do not understand your :

"EXEC ORACLE OPTION (SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS);"

the SQLCHECK is a pro*c parameters, it normally is defined in the parameter file, OUTSIDE the program :

or you can put it in the pro*c options manually before the precompilation, I really do not know why you are tryng to do it INSIDE the program with EXEC command...
