Porting C programs written for AIX

(previously posted in midrange-l with very little response)

Working on a proof of concept project to port a aix implementation of C (I
am told it is C, not C++ but wouldn't know the diff if it hit me in the
face..)

Large multi platform company, we are the only Power i in the mix of AIX and
MS-SQL and .net.
The C code is an encryption package where we can all pass data back and
forth (and we do a lot of that)  but handle the encryption of sensitive
info. They have written C wrappers around a package of C from HP called
Voltage.
We have the source for the wrappers, but compiling the C on "i" not
working. We have solved the includes issues, but getting down to messages
like line 47 :

   39     1 |    int      status =
0;
|
   40       |    char
*newformat[30];
|
   41
|
|
   42     2 | if (SQLUDF_NULL(text_ind) || SQLUDF_NULL(format_ind))
{                                          |
   43     3 |        *out_ind =
-1;
|
   44     4 |
return;
|
   45       |
}
|
   46
|
|
   47     5 |    strcpy( newformat, (char *) format)
;                                                         |
   47     5 +    (__strcpy((newformat),((char *) format)))
;                                                   +
===========>
..............a...................................................................................

*=SEVERE==========> a - CZM0280  Function argument assignment between types
"char*" and "char**" is not allowed.
   48     6 |     if (strcmp( (char *) format, "ShortDate" ) == 0 )
{                                          |
   49     7 |         int result =
0;
|
   50     8 |      result =
GetYear(text);
|
===========>
...............a..................................................................................

*=WARNING=========> a - CZM0304  No function prototype given for
"GetYear".

IS there a conversion of source needed to ILE C?
Is line 40   char *newformat[30];    correct - I can't find anything like
that in google...

Thanks
