Oracle Procedure with OUT Parameters

I get this error message when I try to create a DataSet for an Oracle
procedure that has an OUT Parameter.
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of parameters in call to 'procedure name'
The Error happens when I click on Refresh Fields.
I can execute procedures with a REFCURSOR OUT Parameter just fine. I only
get this message when the procedure has other out types like DATE or CHAR.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FabianOnly out ref cursors are supported. Please follow the guidelines in the
following article on MSDN (scroll down to the section where it talks about
"Oracle REF CURSORs") on how to design the Oracle stored procedure:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpcontheadonetdatareader.asp
To use a stored procedure with regular out parameters, you should either
remove the parameter (if it is possible) or write a little wrapper around
the original stored procedure which checks the result of the out parameter
and just returns the out ref cursor but no out parameter.
