pro*c array's returned data length (dynamic sql 4)

Hi,

I made a little pro*c app that selects rows in a host array and prints them in a delimited format. There are varchar2 columns that have variable lengths. A column like 'DESCRIPTION' can be anything between 0 and 2000 chars long. l
How can I determine the actual length of the data in the DESCRIPTION column in the array ?

in selda->L[i] I only have the maxlength of the columns.

BTW: I use dynamic sql method 4 to get the rows since I do not know anything about the tables before hand. Also I want the rows to be returned in characters, not in the internal formats.

thanks,
