PL/SQL: numeric or value error: Bulk bind: Error in define

Hello
Does anyone know what this error means?
PL/SQL: numeric or value error: Bulk bind: Error in define
I've checked the cursor and all of the columns are correct.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is quite urgent.
Cheers
David

    Hi there,
    Following is the description of the error, you are getting.
    ORA-06502:VALUE_ERROR
    An arithmetic, conversion, truncation, or size-constraint error occurs. For example, when your program selects a column value into a character variable, if the value is longer than the declared length of the variable, PL/SQL aborts the assignment and raises VALUE_ERROR. In procedural statements, VALUE_ERROR is raised if the conversion of a character string into a number fails. (In SQL statements, INVALID_NUMBER is raised.)
    Hopefully this will help.

  • Error Message - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: Bulk Bind: Trunc

    This is driving me nuts!
    I am getting this error from OWB during a mapping process.
    I have checked the input data and it looks fine.
    The run time audit browser just lists all of the steps but does not make it clear which one failed. Is it the last one which is shown (does not have HIDE as selection link.)
    I also tried to determine which row was causing the problem and followed the instructions at http://www.nicholasgoodman.com/bt/blog/2005/07/, but no row_id was recorded in the views. In actual fact there wasn't very much audit info other than that the mapping ran and was complete (even though it failed).
    In the error message section it has, in order
    Map Step - blank
    Rowkey - 35204435256
    Severity - X
    Error Message - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: Bulk Bind: Truncated Bind
    Object Name - N/A
    Object Column - *
    From the PL/SQL error I thought it may be trying to insert into a data field that was too small, but all of the columns that are used are full of data of length shorter than all of the target tables.
    I have even started running the cursors in the generated PLSQL but I don't get the error by doing this.
    Thanks in advance for any tips at all.

    Thanks for the response.
    I managed to work it out and it had to do with the selection criteria of one of the filters.
    For anyone else facing this error, check to see if any of the rows being inserted has the same key/identifier as some existing in the target table. If so add an extra condition to the where clause.
    This worked for me.

  • ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: Bulk Bind: Truncated Bink

    I have a map which worked fine in 10.2.0.1. The same map in 11.2.0.2 is giving me the error:
    'ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: Bulk Bind: Truncated Bink.'
    I have one source and one target. This is a straight load, no transformations.
    While debugging the map I have noticed the culprit is one column in the source which is varchar2(30),
    I have the target column with the same varchar2(30), and I tried increasing the size of
    the target column but i keep getting the same error. While searching the forum someone suggested
    to change the configuration of code generation options and runtime parameters to set based.
    But strangely it gave me an error because the set based option is not availabe in the new 11.2.0.2.
    Should the set based option be available in this version. Please suggest on how i could resolve the
    error of 'ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: Bulk Bind: Truncated Bink.' Thank you.

  • Error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error:NULL index table key value

    Hi,
    I am trying toceate an interface which collects data from database make some transformation and populated seeded tables in the same database.
    My Approach is :
    a) Create a record type variable ( concists of multiple segments)
    b) Create a pl/sql table type of the records type in a)
    c) Created a cursor of same structure as pl/sql table type ( collects data)
    d) BULK CoLLECT data from cursor into pl/sql table
    e) Print the data
    But during Bulk Collect i get the below error :

  • Report error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string b

    I have a form which uses a customer form/report, drop downs etc..
    the debug shows it running this statement

    A select list is limited in size. I am not sure what the limit is but that is definitelly the case.The maximum size for the HTML generated for a select list is 32K.
    86 options sounds on the low side to be hitting that limit, but there are other concerns to this as well. Scrolling through hundreds/thousands of options in a select list is a pain for users, and huge select lists produce bloated pages that impact load times and network bandwidth. That list of around 200 countries you find on many sites is about the sensible maximum length for a select list.
    You should use popups.Indeed.

  • PL/SQL function body returning SQL query - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

    I'm attempting to dynamically generate a rather large SQL query via the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" report region option.  The SQL query generated will possibly be over 32K.  When I execute my page, I sometimes receive the "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" which points to a larger than 32K query that was generated.  I've seen other posts in the forum related to this dynamic SQL size limitation issue, but they are older (pre-2010) and point to the 32K limit of the DNS (EXECUTE IMMEDIATE) and DBMS_SQL.  I found this post (dynamic sql enhancements in 11g) which discusses 11g no longer having the 32K size limitation for generating dynamic SQL.  Our environment is on 11gR2 and using ApEx 4.2.1.  I do not know which dynamic SQL method -- DNS or DBMS_SQL -- ApEx 4.2.1 is using.  Can someone clarify for me which dynamic SQL method ApEx uses to implement the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" option?
    As a test, I created a page on apex.oracle.com with a report region with the following source:
    declare
      l_stub varchar2(25) := 'select * from sys.dual ';
      l_sql  clob := l_stub || 'union all ';
      br     number(3) := 33;
    begin
      while length ( l_sql ) < 34000 loop
        l_sql := l_sql || l_stub || 'union all ';
      end loop;
      l_sql := l_sql || l_stub;
      for i in 1 .. ceil ( length ( l_sql ) / br ) loop
        dbms_output.put_line ( dbms_lob.substr ( l_sql, br, ( ( i - 1 ) * br ) + 1 ) );
      end loop;
      return l_sql;
    end;
    The dbms_output section is there to be able to run this code in SQL*Plus and confirm the size of the SQL is indeed larger than 32K.  When running this in SQL*Plus, the procedure is successful and produces a proper SQL statement which can be executed.  When I put this into the report region on apex.oracle.com, I get the ORA-06502 error.
    I can certainly implement a work-around for my issue by creating a 'Before Header' process on the page which populates an ApEx collection with the data I am returning and then the report can simply select from the collection, but according to documentation, the above 32K limitation should be resolved in 11g.  Thoughts?
    Shane.

    What setting do you use in your report properties - especially in Type and in Region Source?
    If you have Type="SQL Query", then you should have a SELECT statement in the Region Source. Something like: SELECT .... FROM ... WHERE
    According to the ERR-1101 error message, you have probably set Type to "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)". In this situation APEX expects you to write a body of a PL/SQL function, that will generate the text of a SQL query that APEX should run. So it can be something like:
    declare
    mycond varchar2(4000);
    begin
    if :P1_REPORT_SEARCH is not null THEN
    mycond:='WHERE LAST_NAME like :P1_REPORT_SEARCH ||''%''';
    end if;
    return 'select EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME from EMPLOYEES ' ||mycond;
    end;
    And for escaping - are you interested in escaping the LIKE wildcards, or the quotes?
    For escaping the wildcards in LIKE function so that when the user enters % you will find a record with % and not all functions, look into the SQL Reference:
    http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/conditions007.htm
    (You would than need to change the code of your function accordingly).
    If you are interested in escaping the quotes, try to avoid concatenating the values entered by the user into the SQL. If you can, use bind variables instead - as I have in my example above. If you start concatenating the values into the text of SQL, you are open to SQLInjection - user can enter anything, even things that will break your SQL. If you really need to allow users to choose the operator, I would probably give them a separate combo for operators and a textfield for values, than you could check if the operator is one of the allowed ones and create the condition accordingly - and than still use bind variable for inserting the filtering value into the query.

    Can i just say(hoping to make you guys think on it) that this is madness???
    I mean, it's a wonderful language, but i really think a for loop should simply skip a empty collection, without need of a special care.Please don't drag up old threads.
    It's not madness. The collection is not "empty" if it's null, it's "unknown", as a collection would have to be initialised to be empty. As it's null (unknown), Oracle cannot know what the start or end of the collection is, so it correctly flags this up as an error.

    Hi,
    I am running a loop to just spool output data using 'dbms_output.put_line' and I keep getting this error after a few records. I resorted it and it happen at a different interval. Could it have to do with the length of the item I am trying to spool? Thanks.

    There is not a chance in the world, especially not knowing column definitions that I, and I suspect most anyone else, is going to wade through this much unformated code looking for an error you couldn't bother to copy in full.
    Either tell us, specifically, the line on which the error is occurring or, better yet, start whacking stuff out of your code until you find the offending definition. That is certainly what I would do. Commenting out sections is a marvelous way to quickly find an issue.
    Before you post again please read the FAQ.

    I think its better you use APEX 4.x version ratherthan using old version.
    You will get more features and some bug fixes and also it's easy for you to get some help when you need.
    * If this answer is helpfull or correct then please mark it and grant the points.

  • Report error:ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string bu

    We face the above error in HTMLDB (APEX) application Ver 3.1.0. This occurs when we try to display more number of rows/records in drop-down list (LOV in tabular forms). We are able to display 200 records in LOV. When the list of records exceeds 230, we face the below error
    report error:ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
    the values listed in LOV are from tables (one of the columns in table)
    Could anyone give us a solution?

    Hi
    As you are using a tabular form, you could actually do the following:
    1 - In the tabular form column's attributes, set the following:
    Display as: Select List (query based on LOV)
    Display extra values: Yes
    List of values definition: SELECT null d, null r FROM DUAL
    2 - Add a new page item and set it to generate your select list
    3 - Create an HTML region with no template and use the following for its source:
    &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
    function loadList(c, l)
    var s = document.getElementsByName(c);
    var lItem = document.getElementById(l);
    var lLength = lItem.options.length;
    var k;
    var j;
    var x = lItem.innerHTML;
    var v;
    var o;
    var z;
    for (k = 0; k &lt; s.length; k++)
    z = s[k];
    v = z.value;
    z.options.length = 0;
    for (j = 0; j &lt; lLength; j++)
    o = new Option()
    o.value = lItem[j].value;
    o.text = lItem[j].text;
    z.options[j] = o;
    z.value = v;
    if (z.selectedIndex == -1)
    z.selectedIndex = 0;
    loadList("f05", "P1_MGR");
    &lt;/script&gt;
    (Change "f05" and "P1_MGR" as appropriate to your column and your new page item respectively)
    Now, when you load the page, the select list contains a null entry plus the entry already on the database. The javascript kicks in automatically, loops through every entry in the "f05" column, copies the existing value, replaces the select list with the new page item version and sets its value to the copied value.
    Your new page item could be in a DIV tag that has a style of "display:none" to hide it from view.

  • Report error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table k

    Hi everybody,
    I have two Distinct Databases on two distinct servers. (Oracle Ent. Release 10.2.0.3.0 on AIX 5.3). After I install the latest patch last week, One of the APEX installation has some problems on Home>Application Builder Page. The error message is very random and
    report error:
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value.
    When i change the view (details to icons), everything goes to normal. This error message is reflected some of the pages (report region) of some of my applications randomly. When it appears in a report region, i deselect the order method of the region, the result is normal.
    But the other APEX application on the other instance has no problem. It is a bug? or Should i re-install the APEX instance?
    Thank you for your interest?

    No, but we have a reproducible test case now so we're working on it. See ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value

  • REP-1401: 'cf_10formula': Fatal PL/SQL error occurred. ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

    Hi Team,
    I am running one conc programme.
    After running I am getting below  error. I checked the issue on metalink  and other, seems that it is an size related issue. I have increased the size of formula columns and placeholdder too.
    But still getting issue.
    My requirement is to get comma seperated values using SQL query itself. Neither i wanted to create layout of the report , since it is a XML publisher report and nor  I am including it on RTF template.
    I want the CF_10 formula column to be populated with comma seperated values.
    MSG-00187: From Date 01-Sep-2014
    REP-1401: 'cf_10formula': Fatal PL/SQL error occurred.
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
    And Here is my code for CF_10
    function CF_10Formula return Number is
    begin
       SELECT NVL(TO_CHAR(sum(Amount),'99,99,99,999'),0) into :CP_5 --NVL(ROUND(sum(Amount)),0) into :CP_5
    --  xxhw_Coll_cat(category)     "Intercat  Catg"
    FROM hhxw_Region_col_v
    WHERE Category IN ('Intercompany - CATV')
    AND trunc(gl_date) BETWEEN TO_DATE(:P_FROM_DATE, 'DD/MM/RRRR') AND TO_DATE(:P_TO_DATE, 'DD/MM/RRRR');
    RETURN ROUND(:CP_5);
    end;
    Anyone please suggest me.
    Regards,
    Sachin

    Hi,
    1)Why are you selecting the value into a report item? Select into a local variable and return that
    RETURN :CP_5 --> This one!!
    2)And you should avoid applying functions to DB columns in where clauses wherever possible, so oracle can use indexes on them if applicable:
    AND gl_date >= To_date(:P_FROM_DATE, 'DD/MM/RRRR')
    AND gl_date < To_date( :P_TO_DATE, 'DD/MM/RRRR') + 1;
    I think you are taking 2 column in the Layout CF_10 and CP_5 right? if so, then use below Query.
    FUNCTION cf_10formula
      RETURN NUMBER
    IS
      v_amount NUMBER:null;
    IS
    BEGIN
      BEGIN
        SELECT nvl(round(SUM(amount)), 0)
        INTO   v_amount --> Retruns the value for CF_10 column
        FROM   hhxw_region_col_v
        WHERE  category IN ( 'Intercompany - CATV' )
        AND    gl_date >= to_date(:P_FROM_DATE, 'DD/MM/RRRR')
        AND    gl_date < to_date( :P_TO_DATE, 'DD/MM/RRRR') + 1;
        :CP_5 := nvl(trunc(v_amount),0); --> Retruns the value for CP_5 column
      EXCEPTION
      WHEN OTHERS THEN
        v_amount := 0;
        srw.message(1003,'Error in Getting  :' ||p_from_date);
      END;
    END;
    And
    If you've got a number function returning into a number field then all you should need to do to make the comma appear is to change the number format mask in field.
    From 40000 to 40,000

    Hi,
    I was able to resolve the issue. I changed it to = To_Number while assigning.
    and for other issue, earlier I choose "Select List" for drop down. I changed this to "Select list with Submit". for the issue of "depending on this values in the report should get change"
    Thanks for your support,
