Subject: Using char pointers with Pro*C

Lines: 10

We are trying to use char * in SELECT INTO statements with Pro*C
(version 7.0.9) on an RS/6000.  We are getting segmentation faults
when we try to SELECT INTO more than one char *.  Are there any
gotchas that one must watch out for?  Also, the columns being
SELECTed are VARCHAR2 NOT NULL.  Does anyone have any examples
that work?  Is there a general rule of thumb on using CHAR arrays
with VARCHAR2 columns?  Thanks.
