ecpg fetch

We followed the syntax for cursors from a standard SQL book
but are getting a compilation error on the line
exec sql fetch in repcurs into :choices;

Thanks for your help,
-David, Dan

exec sql include sqlca;
..
exec sql begin declare section;
int choices;
exec sql end declare section;
..
exec sql declare repcurs cursor for
select number from singer;
..
exec sql open repcurs;

exec sql whenever not found goto done;

for (;;)
{
exec sql fetch in repcurs into :choices;
printf("Number %d \n", choices);
}

done: exec sql close repcurs;
