putenv Approach

The following describes the putenv approach. The putenv function call
permits the developer to directly place the ORACLE_SID and the
ORACLE_HOME environmental shell variables into a Pro*C program.
Perform the following:

1

Using an editor, open the Pro*C source file for editing.

2

Add the following line at the top of the source file:

#include <stdlib.h>

3

Near the beginning of main, add the following two lines of code:

putenv ( "ORACLE_SID=<ORACLE_SID_name>" );

putenv ( "ORACLE_HOME=<ORACLE_HOME_name>” );

where

ORACLE_SID_name

is the name of the database instance on the

server and

ORACLE_HOME_name

is the ORACLE_HOME directory on

the server.
