Is there a limeit on the no. of input output parameters in ADO calling Oracle Stored Proc

Yes,
I have found the same problem. In the work that I do I must return data
using PL/SQL as well. The only work around was to concatenate the data placing
it a large varchar2 data type. On the Client side I would break it apart
again. Since I had to do that I only returned one table array.
