This function is used to describe the parameters of a PL/SQL procedure or function stored in an Oracle database. All of the variables used as output arguments in this function call must be declared as a variable size shelf, and each shelf is cleared in the function. Items are added to the output shelves, one for each stored procedure or function parameter.

Input arguments:

• lda -- Login data area descriptor.
• objnam -- The name of the procedure, including optional schema and package name.
• onlen -- The length of objnam or OCI_NTS.

Output arguments:

• ovrld -- An integer shelf containing the level of procedure overloading.
• pos -- The integer shelf containing the position of the parameter in the procedure. Parameter positions start at one. The function return type is described at position zero.
• level -- An integer shelf containing the level within the scalar, record, or array parameter.
• argnam -- A stream shelf containing the parameter name in the function or procedure.
• arnlen -- An integer shelf containing the lengths of the parameter name
• dtype -- An integer shelf containing the Oracle datatype for each parameter.
• defsup -- An integer shelf containing an indicator of whether the parameter has a default value.
• mode -- An integer shelf containing the access mode of the parameter.
• dtsiz -- An integer shelf containing the size of the datatype in bytes.
• prec -- An integer shelf containing the precision for the parameter, if it is numeric. Otherwise, it returns a zero.
• scale -- An integer shelf containing the scale of the parameter, if it is numeric.
• radix -- An integer shelf containing the radix of the parameter, if it is numeric.

Input/output argument:

• arrsiz -- On input, the maximum number of procedure or function parameters to return. On output, the number of procedure or function parameters returned.
