Maybe you are looking at
    SQL_WCHAR(-8)
    SQL_WVARCHAR(-9)
    SQL_WLONGVARCHAR(-10)
.

Please use the ANSI version driver.
If you compile the program with win32.mak please type
    nmake /f win32.mak ANSI_VERSION=yes
and you would get psqlodbc30a.dll and pgenlista.dll
instead of psqlodbc35w.dll and pgenlist.dll.
