| ERROR | FIPS warning: Invalid ANSI SQL Identifier |
| CAUSE | An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the name given to a host variable: o is longer than 18 characters, o does not begin with a letter, or o contains consecutive or trailing underscores. In the following Pro*C example, the host variable name is 19 characters long and therefore non-compliant: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION; int department_location: -- not ANSI/ISO compliant EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES. |
| ACTION | No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, change the host variable name so that it is <= 18 characters long, begins with a letter, and does not contain consecutive or trailing underscores. |
