Sorry to say that another tool won't help you. Although it is the Pro*C pre-processor that reports the error, it is basically the database kernel that does not permit the use of bind variables this way. Why don't you build your entire DLL statement in a string and then use EXEC SQL EXECUTE IMMEDIATE... to execute it?
