Well, this won't work.  You are probably looking for something like:
#include 
#include 
#include 
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
int cArg;
char Program_Command [120];
    strcpy (Program_Command, "myprog");
    /* ^= Program_Command = "myprog" */
    cArg = argc;            /* argc = number of arguments */
                            /* argv = arguments themselves */
    while (cArg < argc)
    {
        strcat (Program_Command, " ");
        strcat (Program_Command, argv [cArg]);
        /* ^= Program_Command = Program_Command + " " + argv[cArg] */
        cArg++;
    }
    printf ("Executing: %s\n", Program_Command);
    system (Program_Command);
    return 0;
}

Actually, in C, you use something like:
#include 
int main (void)             /* We don't really need argc/argv. */
{
int Number;
int Result;
    /* Read a single digit from the user. */
    Result = scanf ("%d", &Number);
    /* Make sure we really got a number. */
    if (Result != 1)
    {
        printf ("You didn't enter a number!\n");
        return 1;
    }
    /* Test this number. */
    switch (Number)
    {
        case 1:     printf ("The number is one!\n"); break;
        case 100:   printf ("The number is one hundred!\n"); break;
        case 913:   printf ("The is nine thirteen!\n"); break;
        default :   /* We get here if nothing else matched. */
                    printf ("You entered some weird number, like %d\n",
                                                                    Number);
    }
    return 0;
}
