Thanks for you reply Peter.

I had already decided to amend my ibase.h and add the 'const' qualifier to
the 5th param in the function declaration. It now compiles, and appears to
work correctly (in limited testing).

But I still have no idea how to name a transaction with a call to EXECUTE
PROCEDURE. This is a major problem for me... I have a huge project full of
named transactions that needs to be modified so that all inserts/updates
are done by SP's (its a table permission thing).
