David,

Case V5.0 puts 'set compatibility V6' before every script that's run in an O7 environment.
If you don't want VARCHAR2's you have to run the CREATE-script's outside Case in SQLPLUS without that 'set'-statement.

Warning : RI-statements have changed between V6 en V7, so you could get problems there (and perhaps in other area's too).
