Ora-12154 when trying to connect to database from fortran application

Question

I am trying to connect to database and run an simple select query to a table(without any where clause) using pro*fortran code.
the connect strng is like
exec sql connect :uidpwd
where uidpwd = username/password@SID
SID and tnsnames connect string are the same.
The fortran (profortran) code is placed in the database server and there are no errors when make is run.
Tnsping is working fine, also i am able to conect using sql*plus and run the same query.
Please help
Thanks and Regards

Hi Nitin
Thanks for the helpful! With your point I'm now Pro! Great thanks.
By the way have your seen that?
Files such as LISTENER.ORA, TNSNAMES.ORA, SQLNET.ORA, if configured manually, or copied and edited from earlier releases of Oracle Database may have record attributes that are incompatible with Oracle Database 10g release 2. The software cannot read such files. The required record format is stream_lf and the record attributes are carriage_control and carriage_return.
This may result in:
Inability to start the listener
Services not registered with the listener
Inability to connect to other databases
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
Run the following command on each file affected:
$ DIR/FULL filename
An output similar to the following may be displayed:
Record format: Variable length, maximum 255 bytes
Record attributes: Carriage return carriage control
If the output includes the preceding entries, then run the following command:
$ CONVERT/FDL=SYS$INPUT filename filename
RECORD
CARRIAGE_CONTROL CARRIAGE_RETURN
FORMAT STREAM_LF
^Z
Otherwise herewith an interesting metalink note. Doc ID:      Note:437597.1

Hope this will also help you...
