Message Strict standard C extension: The declaration of the "main" function has a return type other than int. Description Standard C requires that the "main" function be defined with a return type of int. HP C will accept other return types, but the program does not conform to the C standard. The status value returned to the environment may not be what you expect, and other C compilers may not accept the definition as written. User Action Define the "main" function with a return type of int for maximal portability.
