Without seeing what your function is doing it's tough to tell where things
are going wrong. Perhaps you've switched some parameters around from the
function arguments to the insert call? The JDBC driver rearranges the
output parameter to be in the argument list for it's own internal
convenience. This is OK and doesn't affect the parameter numbering or
the calling of the function.
