Interoperability problem in fetching cursor b/w oracle 8.1.7 and oracle 9i

Question

I have got the problem while executing the Fetch
cursor statement (The statement is used to fetch
record from the table by using cursor) through PROC
from Oracle 9i(client) on one m/c to Oracle
8i(server)version 8.1.7 on the other m/c
The Operating system is HP-UX 11.0.
We are getting the Oracle Errno as -932 ie
"inconsistent datatypes".
The code is given as follows
#include <stdio.h>          /* UNIX */
#include <string.h> /* System include header files */
#include <stdlib.h>
EXEC SQL INCLUDE sqlca;
EXEC SQL begin declare section;
VARCHAR uid[20];
VARCHAR pwd[40];
VARCHAR dbname[40];
VARCHAR tblname[40];
char a_szSqlString[1024];
int h_nCount;          /* balance */
EXEC SQL end declare section;
int main()
     strcpy ((char *)uid.arr,"user");
     uid.len=strlen((char *)uid.arr);
     strcpy ((char *)pwd.arr,"pass");
     pwd.len=strlen((char *)pwd.arr);
     strcpy ((char *)dbname.arr,"net1");
     dbname.len=strlen((char *)dbname.arr);
     strcpy ((char *)tblname.arr,"ctltbl");
tblname.len=strlen((char *)tblname.arr);
     fprintf(stdout," B4 CONNECTING\n");
     fflush(stdout);
     EXEC SQL CONNECT :uid IDENTIFIED BY :pwd USING :dbname;
     fprintf(stdout," AFTER CONNECTING\n");
     fflush(stdout);
     if ( sqlca.sqlcode != 0 )
printf("Sqlconnect return code = %d\n", sqlca.sqlcode);
fflush(stdout);
return;
     fprintf(stdout," AFTER CONNECT STATEMENT\n");
     fflush(stdout);
     sprintf(a_szSqlString, "%s%s%s%s ","select count(*) into :h_nCount from tab "," where TNAME=UPPER('", tblname,"') " );
     EXEC SQL DECLARE sCheckTblName STATEMENT;
     if ( sqlca.sqlcode != 0 )
printf("Sqlat = %d\n", sqlca.sqlcode);
fflush(stdout);
return;
     EXEC SQL PREPARE sCheckTblName from :a_szSqlString;     
     if ( sqlca.sqlcode != 0 )
printf("Sqlprep = %d\n", sqlca.sqlcode);
fflush(stdout);
return;
     fprintf(stdout," AFTER PREPARE STATEMENT\n");
fflush(stdout);
     EXEC SQL DECLARE cCheckTblName CURSOR FOR sCheckTblName;
     if ( sqlca.sqlcode != 0 )
printf("Sqldec = %d\n", sqlca.sqlcode);
fflush(stdout);
return;
     fprintf(stdout," AFTER CURSOR DECLARE STATEMENT\n");
fflush(stdout);
     EXEC SQL OPEN cCheckTblName;
     if ( sqlca.sqlcode != 0 )
printf("Sqlopen = %d\n", sqlca.sqlcode);
fflush(stdout);
return;
     fprintf(stdout," AFTER CURSOR OPEN STATEMENT\n");
fflush(stdout);
     printf("THE VALUE OF COUNT is %d\n",h_nCount);
     EXEC SQL FETCH cCheckTblName INTO :h_nCount;
     if ( sqlca.sqlcode != 0 )
printf("Sqlfetch = %d\n", sqlca.sqlcode);
fflush(stdout);
return;
     fprintf(stdout," AFTER CURSOR FETCH STATEMENT\n");
fflush(stdout);
     EXEC SQL CLOSE cCheckTblName;
     * If the return code is not ok and first_time is true, no data
     * existed.
     EXEC SQL AT :dbname COMMIT WORK RELEASE;
     /*EXEC SQL COMMIT WORK RELEASE;*/
The Makefile contents is as follows
proc sqlcheck=full define=_PROC userid=user/pass@net1 CHAR_MAP=VARCHAR2, DBM

Please treat this as an very urgent one!!!!!!!!!!

hi,
try deleting the into :... from the statement
that you are parsing as the cursor
