I'm trying to get null termination and no blank padding in the data I get from the database so I'm doing the following:

typedef char mychar;
EXEC SQL TYPE mychar IS string;

mychar FirstName[25];

    EXEC SQL

      SELECT FIRST_NM
      INTO :FirstName
      FROM NAME_TBL
      WHERE KEY = 'whatever';

I keep getting message like this:

(1) PCC-W-02344, Host variable array size mismatch. Using minimum: 2

I have chaeked to make sure that I'm defining the FirstName character array with one more byte that the specified max size in the database. FIRST_NM in the database is varchar2(24). What am I doing wrong?
