Don't use the ORACLE C compiler.  The name of the company is really RSI.
Oracle is one of their products.  The compiler sucks.  We have a bug list
that's about 100 pages thick on it and they aren't interested in fixing
even the most severe bugs.  They only developed it to write the oracle
database.  Second, I believe it only runs under VM/SP so use under MVS
may be more work.

Get the ATT IBM compiler, not only is it a reasonable implementation but
for your application, I think it even runs under MVS already.
