It's a good idea to declare variables used with OCI using the OCI types and avoid having casts in your function calls. That way the compiler will alert you if you are sending the wrong thing. This:

ub1 Count;

      /* stuff... */
      odefin(&cda, 1, Count, ....);
      /* more stuff... */

would at least give a warning. Or better yet, not compile.
