Porting C programs written for AIX

(previously posted in midrange-l with very little response)

Working on a proof of concept project to port a aix implementation of C (I
am told it is C, not C++ but wouldn't know the diff if it hit me in the
face..)

Large multi platform company, we are the only Power i in the mix of AIX and
MS-SQL and .net.
The C code is an encryption package where we can all pass data back and
forth (and we do a lot of that) but handle the encryption of sensitive
info. They have written C wrappers around a package of C from HP called
Voltage.
We have the source for the wrappers, but compiling the C on "i" not
working. We have solved the includes issues, but getting down to messages
like line 47 :

39 1 | int status =
0;
|
40 | char
*newformat[30];
|
41
|
|
42 2 | if (SQLUDF_NULL(text_ind) || SQLUDF_NULL(format_ind))
{ |
43 3 | *out_ind =
-1;
|
44 4 |
return;
|
45 |
}
|
46
|
|
47 5 | strcpy( newformat, (char *) format)
; |
47 5 + (__strcpy((newformat),((char *) format)))
; +
===========>
..............a...................................................................................

*=SEVERE==========> a - CZM0280 Function argument assignment between types
"char*" and "char**" is not allowed.
48 6 | if (strcmp( (char *) format, "ShortDate" ) == 0 )
{ |
49 7 | int result =
0;
|
50 8 | result =
GetYear(text);
|
===========>
...............a..................................................................................

*=WARNING=========> a - CZM0304 No function prototype given for
"GetYear".

IS there a conversion of source needed to ILE C?
Is line 40 char *newformat[30]; correct - I can't find anything like
that in google...

Thanks
