This example demonstrates how to use OTL template & dynamic PL/SQL table containers for reading/writing PL/SQL tables of DATEs from/to the otl_stream.
#include <iostream.h> #include <stdio.h>
#define OTL_ORA7 // Compile OTL 4.0/OCI7 #include <otlv4.h> // include the OTL 4.0 header file otl_connect db; // connect object
void plsql(void)
{ 
 otl_stream s(1, // buffer size needs to be set to 1 in this case
              "begin "
              "  pkg_test.prc_test(:v<int,in>, :t2<timestamp,out[200]>); "
              "end;",
              db // connect object
             );
 s.set_commit(0); // Since there is no transactions, unset the stream auto-commit
 otl_datetime_tab<200> t2; // PL/SQL table of otl_datetime[200]
s<<7; // assign :v = 7 s>>t2; // read :t2 from the stream.
 cout<<endl<<endl<<"T2_Len="<<t2.len()<<endl;
 for(int j=0;j<t2.len();++j)
  if(t2.is_null(j))
   cout<<"T2["<<j<<"]=NULL"<<endl;
  else
   cout<<"T2["<<j<<"]="<<t2.v[j].month
       <<"/"<<t2.v[j].day
       <<"/"<<t2.v[j].year
