I hate to tell you this Steve, but PRO*C does not support the use of structures. It states on page 1-6 of the PRO*C Supplement (V1.3)

   You cannot declare a host variable of type struct. Nor can you refer    to any of the following:

• names declared in typedef statements
• symbolic constants named by the #define directive
• previously declared structs

I know it stinks, especially since VARCHARs are structs, but that's the way it is. :-(
