ProC semantic checking without db connection, how to handle views.....

Question

Hello!
We would like to run ProC with sqlcheck=semantics without connecting to a database..
To do this we insert an
EXEC SQL INCLUDE definitions.pc;
in each of our source files containing embedded sql. The file definitions.pc contains
a set of statements of the form "EXEC SQL DECLARE xxx TABLE ( .... );". This file
is generated from another file containing "CREATE TABLE" statements.
This seems to work, if our embedded SQL does not agree with the table definitions in definitions.pc then ProC complains.
We would now like to get semantic checking for embedded SQL that refers to views
but are unsure how to achieve this. There does not seem to be a statement "EXEC SQL DECLARE xxxx VIEW".
One way to "cheat" would be to add "EXEC SQL DECLARE xxx TABLE" statements to definitions.pc for each view in the database. Writing a tool that translate a set of
"CREATE TABLE" into a set of "EXEC SQL DECLARE TABLE" is easy, but translating
"CREATE VIEW" into a corresponding faked "EXEX SQL DECLARE xxx TABLE" seems much harder.
Is there a way to achieve semantic checking without connecting to a database or
without writing a tool that parses full "create view" statements?
Thanks,
Lars
