formal parameter VARCHARs should be declared as pointers

Cause

Many C compilers allow structures to be passed to and returned from functions. Although a VARCHAR is implemented as a C struct, VARCHARs must be passed to a function as pointers.


Action

Take the address of a VARCHAR when it is passed to a function. See the example in the section "Referencing VARCHAR Variables" in the Programmer's Guide to the Oracle Precompilers.
