Well, actually there IS, if you don't mind declaring test_arr as a pointer, even with Pro*C before 2.0.

Check out the Pro*C section of the FAQ. (http://www.bf.rmit.edu.au/~dtb/orafaq/proc.html) and grab the package I wrote for this and other purposes (ftp://ftp.bf.rmit.edu.au/pub/Oracle/sources/pgmr/vch.cpio.Z)

Your mileage may vary. If you are on a 32-bit UNIX machine then you should be pretty safe. This package permits you do declare the storage in a NORMAL C file (even malloc'ing it dynamically) by creating C preprocessor definitions and functions to deal with varchar types.

READ THE DOCO CAREFULLY, you could be in BIG trouble if you do not understand it or the code.
