Thanks Mike and David, found out the problem only happens when I call from RedBack.
Oracle is running on Unix and I have the connection user name and password embedded in my Unidata code. Not sure why it doesn't work from RedBack responder, but got around problem by have a batch file which runs the routine.

[You did not say what O/S the Oracle host is running]. If the Oracle host is a Windows box, and the ODBC connection is using NT Authentication, it will ignore whatever UID & Password you pass in, and use the credentials of the user issuing the request. If you are not using NT Authentication, I suggest you should use the UniBasic encryption / decryption functions to store the password encrypted on disk, not in plain text in the code of the program [apologies if 'teaching Grandma to suck eggs']. Note that you can run a SQL Stored Procedure [via SQLExecuteDirect rather than SQLExecute], which might enable you to do all you want.

You can set the SQL Connect statement with a different user name and password. Bind the Parameters for the Subroutine and then Call it. The code below may give you some idea.
