When you want to get the value? You can't get it after SQLBindCol() call.
Please read the specification at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odbc/htm/odbcsqlbindcol.asp

If I misunderstand your notice please correct me.

I see you have no clue what's the difference betwwen char and varchar
type in PostgreSQL. Please read the PostgreSQL manual. It isn't ODBC
related (http://www.postgresql.org/docs).
