Problem with odbc driver 3.51.30 compared to 3.51.26

[j tom]

SQLExecute function fails with SQL_NEED_DATA in mysql odbc driver version 3.51.30. But the same function works perfectly in mysql driver version 3.51.26. Is this due to an API difference in the above versions?
I searched a bit on net and found a reference like the executing the following functions in order SQLBindParamater, SQLBindParameter, SQLPrepare and SQLExecute would solve the issue. But that didn’t worked for me.

Also we tried doing a SQLParamData followed by SQLPutData as found in another reference. That worked. But that is little difficult for us
But we are really interested in knowing whether the difference in behaviour is due to API change or the actual reason for the same. Please suggest a better solution for this issue.
