Varying Char Array problem

Dear all

I am porting the code developed using sun cc and pc compilers to gpc and gcc

my pascal code looks like below ******************************************************* vstr_1024 = VARYING[1024] OF CHAR; (* while porting it to gpc converted above data type as "vstr_1024 = string[1024]"*)

FUNCTION sysget_symbol( VAR ENV : vstr_1024) : INTEGER; asmname 'sysget_symbol';

SysStatus:INTEGER; EnvString:vstr_1024;

SysStatus := sysget_symbol (EnvString); (*sysget_symbol is a C function*) *******************************************************

my C code looks like below ******************************************************* typedef struct { int length; char text[1024]; } NameString1024;

int sysget_symbol( NameString1024 *env) { (*code *) } *******************************************************

But the problem is after passing the vstr_1024 parameter to 'C' function,It is not reading properly.

My question is Do we have any data type equivalent to varying char array?

Please suggest me the alternative.

Regards Hari
