ANSI C++ COde HELP PLS

[vijk2001]

I have a piece of C++ code which is to be migrated to ANSI C++.Im doing the standard namespaces..std:: changes etc but there is one portion which is NOT compiling(It compiled fine in Legacy C++..) Pls help.

File #1 Field.cpp
------------------------
------------------------------
( (Header.getFieldMDStatic() ).getFieldSummary() ) . setFieldName("HEADER"

File # 2 FieldSummary.h
-----------------------
------------------------
char *fieldName;
long fieldType;

void setFieldName (char *name)
{
fieldName = name;
}

WARNING /ERROR: String Literal converted to char* in formal argument name in call to FieldSummary::setFieldName (char*)

Sounds like it wants you to use a const char* instead of a char*.

Is this a warning or an error?
Anyway, it's obviously flagging the fact that you're passing in a literal.. So, don't pass a literal; pass char * variable ?
