I'm new to Oracle 8i and am trying to create a table to store small photos in. I'm having
problems geting ORDSYS.ORDImage.init() to initialize the data structure in which to store
the data. In the simplest form I tried the following example from the Oracle documentation.

I have Oracle 8i Enterprise version 8.1.6.0.0 with all the Oracle InterMedia options selected.

SQL>
  1 DECLARE
  2 myImage ORDSYS.ORDImage;
  3 BEGIN
  4 myImage := ORDSYS.ORDImage.init();
  5* END;
myImage := ORDSYS.ORDImage.init();

                           *
