Default Reverse Engineer results in incorrect default values for table col

I have been able to reverse an Oracle 10G database using the ODBC Generic
driver. However I have come across a situation where error are reported like
the following
"TMS ALL 08-07-23.VSD : error L2201: 'TM_ADDR.ADDR_STATUS' : The default
value is incompatible with the data type or is too long."

When I check the column I find that it has a default value of '18' for a
Varchar2(1) column.

I'm not sure how the incorrect default vale was captured as when I check the
database that is the source, there is no default value.

Has anyone else experienced this or know how to prevent it from happening?

Additional Information.

The default value that is assigned is the column Id within the Oracle
database.
