This example demonstrates a anonymous PL/SQL block with input and output variables.
#include <iostream.h> #include <stdio.h>
#define OTL_ORA8 // Compile OTL 4.0/OCI8 #include <otlv4.h> // include the OTL 4.0 header file otl_connect db; // connect object
void plsql(void)
// invoking PL/SQL block
{ 
 otl_stream o(5, // buffer size
              "begin "
              " :A<int,inout> := :A+1; "
              " :B<char[31],out> := :C<char[31],in>; "
              "end;",
                 // PL/SQL block
              db // connect object
             );
 o.set_commit(0); // set stream auto-commit off since 
                  // the block does not have any transactions
                  // to commit
 o<<1<<"Test String1"; // assigning :A = 1, :C = "Test String1"
 o<<2<<"Test String2"; // assigning :A = 2, :C = "Test String2"
 o<<3<<"Test String3"; // assigning :A = 3, :C = "Test String3"
 o.flush(); // executing PL/SQL block 3 times
 int a;
 char b[32];
 while(!o.eof()){ // not end-of-data
  o>>a>>b;
  cout<<"A="<<a<<", B="<<b<<endl;
 }
}
int main()
{
 otl_connect::otl_initialize(); // initialize OCI environment
 try{
  db.rlogon("scott/tiger"); // connect to Oracle
  plsql();
 }
 catch(otl_exception& p){ // intercept OTL exceptions
  cerr<<p.msg<<endl; // print out error message
  cerr<<p.stm_text<<endl; // print out SQL that caused the error
  cerr<<p.var_info<<endl; // print out the variable that caused the error
 }
 db.logoff(); // disconnect from Oracle
