hello all ,
i have my idl defined as follows :

}

i get the following error :
Error 339: "getPlanData.cpp", line 180 # Return type 'struct singleIMEI' does
not match expected return type 'class planList'
return singleIMEIarr[1000];
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
i need to return the singleIMEIarr with the return type "planList",
i have tried type casting , but nothing seems to work ,
any suggestions would be of great help
thank you

c++

Your compiler is correct. If you want that function to return something else then change the return type on line 5 of the *.cpp file, and also in the class declaration. Functions can not return arrays like you are trying to do in line 162 of the code you posted.

Other problems:
line 162. that is a return line. The code following it will never get executed.

>>return singleIMEIarr[1000];

That line is illegal.

>>but is there no way of converting (type casting) it to the class type ?
Why didn't you just use schedule_Mgmt::plainData structure instead of creating yet another structure with identical contents (starting on line 29 of *.cpp file)?

Make it a pointer

schedule_Mgmt::plainData* singleIMEIarr = new schedule_Mgmt::plainData[1000];

...
...
return singleIMEIarr;

And don't forget to delete[] that pointer in the receiving function.

Another alternative is to make it a vector passed in by reference so that getPlanData() can populate the vector

void  getPlanData(vector<schedule_Mgmt::planList>& list)
{
     

}

thank you , but is there no way of converting (type casting) it to the class type ?

im trying get all the data from oracle database , store it in an array of structures and return the contents of the array.

>>Why didn't you just use schedule_Mgmt::plainData structure instead of creating yet another structure with identical contents (starting on line 29 of *.cpp file)?
i havent tried it , will give it a shot , is there any other workaround for this problem that u can think of ?

im using HP-UX .vector implementation isnt possible coz a header file <stdin.h> (or <stdint.h> not sure ) is not available. for some reason hp did not include it. thats y im trying to use array of structures.
>>schedule_Mgmt::planData* singleIMEIarr = new schedule_Mgmt::planData[1000];
it aint working
the function is of planList type (sequence defined in the corba idl)
i need to return the array in "planList" type,

Oh I see planList is a typedef. Well then just replace it

planList* singleIMEIarr = new planList[1000];

...
...
return singleIMEIarr;

im using HP-UX .vector implementation isnt possible coz a header file <stdin.h> (or <stdint.h> not sure ) is not available.,

vector is not declared in either of those header files. Its in <vector> header file, which will be supplied by every c++ compiler in the world except maybe some embedded compilers. So I think you need to search your compiler's include directory and I'll bet my boots it will contain a header file named vector (and without a .h extension)

#include <vector>
// other c++ code here

>>planList* singleIMEIarr = new planList[1000];

thank you . thanks a ton man , that worked :)

oops im sorry , i actually made that change in getPlanData.cpp and compiled another .cpp file with the same name in another path.

it did not work
