It's been awhile since I've used Pro*C but it seems to me you
need the special VARCHARdefinition not char
which means you need the appropriate header file and need to
strcpy to the arr part of the VARCHAR structure and then set
the len part of the structure
or you need to use the string equivalence feature.
I recall a good example in the samples files that are shipped
with the PRO*C product.
