Re: using arrays within structure in ECPG

Hi MIchael,
I tried to fix the offset problem. PFA the patch. It does solve the problem
of setting wrong offset in ECPGdo() call.

But then there is problem of interpreting the result from server as an
array within array of structure. The problem is there is in
ecpg_get_data(). This function can not understand that the "field" is an
array of integers (or for that matter array of anything) and store all the
values in contiguous memory at the given address.
