Getting an ORA-24333 error while parsing a non SELECT statement ...

Question

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and I've search through the entire forum to see if my problem was already solved, but at first sight it doesn't ?
So I hope that someone can help me one this : I'm facing a strange problem with the OCI 8i. I've encapsulated any OCI call into a set of C++ classes. Everything works fine apart for one point : whenever I try to parse a NON "select" statement, I get the ORA-24333 error.
Basically, the code follow the current schema (only "important" states are written here) :
-> Opening an Oracle Session
-> Receving de statement.
-> Analyse it with a call to OCIStmtPrepare() with OCI_NTV_SYNTAX set.
-> Calling OCIBindByName() to associate each variable with a data.
-> Calling OCIStmtExecute() with OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY set in order to retrieve the current list of INPUT/OUTPUT columns.
And this is where the problem arise.
With a statement like : "SELECT MyPackage.MyFunction(:v1) FROM DUAL"
Everthing works fine. I can bind the INPUT/OUTPUT ":v1" variable.
But with a statement like : "BEGIN MYFUNTION(:v1); END;"
I get the ORA-24333 error after the call to OCIStmtExecute().
I get this error only when I set OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY. If I call OCIStmtExecute() with OCI_DEFAULT, the OCI execute the statement. This is fine but it's not what I want. I cannot change the statement received (by design), so they should be proceeded as received.
What I'm looking for is a way to successfully perform the OCIStmtExecute() with OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY set in order to get the list of variables columns related to the current statement.
Any help would be greatly apprecitated here. Thanks !
Here are my current configurations.
-> Windows 2000 SP5 OCI 8i / VC++ 6.0
-> Macintosh OS X 10.3.4 / Code Warrior 8.3
(The code produce exactly the same results/troubles on both plateforms.)
Thanks in advance for your respons.
