Using types in pro*c/c++

Question

HI all,
I am trying to use oracle object types in pro*c/c++ program. Below are the detailes.
objects being used OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB , OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB_ARRAY.
ott infile : inpfile
CASE=SAME
TYPE OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB
TYPE OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB_ARRAY
ott command : ott userid=scott/tiger code=C intype=inpfile outtype=ottouttype hfile=obj_background_job_array.h
the command generated the header file and an outtype file
obj_background_job_array.h :
#ifndef OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB_ARRAY_ORACLE
# define OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB_ARRAY_ORACLE
#ifndef OCI_ORACLE
# include <oci.h>
#endif
typedef OCIRef OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB_ref;
typedef OCITable OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB_ARRAY;
struct OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB
OCINumber SNO;
OCIString * PARAMETER;
typedef struct OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB;
struct OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB_ind
OCIInd _atomic;
OCIInd SNO;
OCIInd PARAMETER;
typedef struct OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB_ind OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB_ind;
ott outtype file : ottouttype.typ
CASE = SAME
TYPE OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB AS OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB
VERSION = "$8.0"
HFILE = obj_background_job_array.h
TYPE OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB_ARRAY AS OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB_ARRAY
VERSION = "$8.0"
HFILE = obj_background_job_array.h
below is the proc code in which I am using the above defined types : types.pc
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sqllib.h>
#include <sql2oci.h>
#include <sqlda.h>
#include "obj_background_job_array.h"
#define SQLCA_STORAGE_CLASS extern
int main()
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION ;
OCIString * abcd ;
OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB * obj_background_job ;
OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB_ind * obj_background_job_ind ;
OCIString * abc ;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION ;
EXEC SQL ALLOCATE :abc;
EXEC SQL ALLOCATE :abcd;
EXEC SQL ALLOCATE :obj_background_job:obj_background_job_ind ;
return 0 ;
When i compile the above code using the command proc types config=pcscfg.cfg i get the below error
Syntax error at line 24, column 9, file types.pc:
Error at line 24, column 9 in file types.pc
OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB * obj_background_job ;

The symbol "enum," was substituted for "OBJ_BACKGROUND_JOB" to continue.

I have tried all the combinations to make it work
Please suggest on how to resolve the problem ... Thanks in advance for your help.
