This may be more complicated than you need, but it should work:

/*******************************************************************
Modified Sample Program 10:  Dynamic SQL Method 4
Modified:           27 Jan 97 12:37:06

This program connects you to ORACLE using your username and password, then prompts you for a SQL statement. You can enter any legal SQL statement. Use regular SQL syntax, not embedded SQL. Your statement will be processed. If it is a query, the rows fetched are displayed.
You can enter multi-line statements. The limit is 1023 characters. This sample program only processes up to MAX_ITEMS bind variables and MAX_ITEMS select-list items. MAX_ITEMS is #defined to be 40.

This program has been updated from the original sample to allow output values from calls to stored procedures/functions or pl/sql blocks generally. Note pl/sql blocks must start with "begin" or "BEGIN". The original sample10.pc only really allowed for input parameters since the space allocated in the bind descriptor was based on the value entered.
The program has been changed to always allocate 32K for each parameter if the sql entered starts with "begin". This has meant changing the datatype to 5 (ie null terminated string) as opposed to 1 (blank padded string) so the data can be easily printed. The process_select_list routine has also been changed to print out the values
of all parameters when a pl/sql block is called. This is really a best guess technique because, unlike oci, there is no direct way to describe
a procedure in dynamic method 4 (other than using plsql dbms routines) to see what parameter types it has and whether they are ins/outs etc. When running this program to call pl/sql blocks, the program will prompt for all bind variables. Simply enter "null" for the output variables.

       sqlprc() is used to extract precision and scale
       from the length (select_dp->L[i]).

       sqlnul() is used to reset the high-order bit of
       the datatype and to check whether the column
       is NOT NULL.

       CHAR    datatypes have length, but zero precision and
               scale.  The length is defined at CREATE time.

       NUMBER  datatypes have precision and scale only if
               defined at CREATE time.  If the column
               definition was just NUMBER, the precision
               and scale are zero, and you must allocate
               the required maximum length.

       DATE    datatypes return a length of 7 if the default
               format is used.  This should be increased to
               9 to store the actual date character string.
               If you use the TO_CHAR function, the maximum
               length could be 75, but will probably be less
               (you can see the effects of this in SQL*Plus).

       ROWID   datatype always returns a fixed length of 18 if
               coerced to CHAR.

       LONG and
       LONG RAW datatypes return a length of 0 (zero),
               so you need to set a maximum.  In this example,
               it is 240 characters.
