If you check the oratypes.h header file, you will see that this is the file which defines ub4, sb2, etc. The CDA and LDA are defined in terms of these. If A_OSF is defined, then they are correct for 64 bit platforms, like the Alpha. There are some other macros in there for other platforms as well, I think. That way it can be one standard file across platforms.
