I double checked again. No problems at all.

PS: Michael, did you know that ecpg does not support casts on variable
inialization ?

int VAR=(int)2.2;

is illegal in an declare section!
But it is hard to fix (tried five times, 51 shift/reduce conflicts, gave up).
Used the C++ way ( int VAR=int(2.2); )
