You have two options.

Completely rewrite your application with only post release 7.x calls (Recommended). OR
Use post release 7.x calls while still using release 7.x calls for some operations. e.g. initialize the service context handle via OCILogon() then convert this to release 7.x lda_def by using OCISvcCtxToLda() then pass that lda_def to 7.x calls. OCILdaToSvcCtx() reverses the lda_def to service context.
