Might want to try the procedure $@sys$library:RDB$SHOVER first.
Depending on version, it might be called DECRDB$SHOVER.com (old) or even
RDBVMS_SHOVER.com (older)
There is also an SQL$SHOVER.com procedure for that component

Yes, here's the documentation from Oracle which can be found at
http://otn.oracle.com/products/rdb/htdocs/rdb_odbc/content.html.
Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb v3.0.2.6
The Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb enables Microsoft[R] Windows, Windows
95[R], Windows NT[R] and Windows XP[R] applications that implement the
Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) API to read from and write to
Oracle Rdb databases and database accessible through the Oracle DB
Integrator family of gateways.
The Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb distribution kit includes all of the
database client software required to allow an ODBC-enabled application to
access Oracle Rdb. The kit consists of Dynamic Link Libraries, a Windows
help file, a copy of the license and this product description. In addition
to the ODBC-enabled application and the Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb, a
network transport is required on the client.
This product is installed by the Oracle Universal Installer, a
completely different technology from that used by previous releases of the
Oracle ODBC Driver for RDB.
To assist those customers who do not already have the Universal
Installer, this kit is being made available in two forms, one without the
installer included (about 1 MB in size) and one with the installer (about 12
MB in size). Both kits are distributed on the web in the form of
self-extracting ZIP archives.
