Can I use C++ objects as Host variables in Pro*C++

Question

Hi,
I have a C++ object in my Pro*C++ program. The objects has
members representing all the fields of a oracle table record.
e.g. For a table TEST_PRODUCT ( product_id, name),
the C++ class is :
class prd
public:
int id;
char name[50];
Can I use the Object of this class as a Host Variable ? In SQL
select query , I want to directly fetch record into this object.
When I declare this object within EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION
and END DECLARE SECTION , it gives me compilation error.
Is that supported by Pro*C++ ? If yes, how to do it?
Pls help.
Thanks

I find it easier to decalre a local variable in the EXEC SQL
block and then assign that to your class variable at the end of
the statement. It makes it easy to check for nulls and db
errors without affecting the C++ object.
