INF: xp_param Sample Requires SQL 7.0 Srv.h File to Compile on SQL 7.0

ID: Q233192

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server version 7.0

SUMMARY

When a customer tries to compile the xp_param sample in SQL Server 7.0, they may get the following errors:

"... warning C4013: 'srv_paraminfo' undefined: assuming extern returning int:"

-or-

"xp_param.obj: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _srv_paraminfo"

These errors occur if the customer is using the wrong SRV.h header file.

MORE INFORMATION

The version of the file for SQL 7.0 is different from the SQL 6.5 version, and the SQL 7.0 version is needed to compile the xp_param sample correctly. Many times this error occurs if there is more than one version of the file on the computer, and the wrong version is picked up by the compiler before the current version. You can easily check this by typing the SET command at a DOS prompt to see what the order of the various "include" and "lib" directory paths are. To fix the problem, specify the current path to the MSSQL7 include directory to load first.

The xp will compile correctly at that point.

On a typical SQL Server 7.0 computer, the path for the include directory will be:


   C:\mssql7\devtools\include
